A slightly tongue-in-cheek critique--delivered by Sweelinck himself--of works by his three most famous students: Jacob Praetorius, Heinrich Scheidemann, and Samuel Scheidt.
Organist and chamber musician Jonathan Oldengarm – who bears a remarkable resemblance to Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck – is Minister of Music at Toronto’s Metropolitan United Church, where he oversees an extensive musical programme that includes multiple ensembles, two concert series, and numerous annual musical service highlights. He is also responsible for maintaining and programming the church’s treasury of instruments, including Canada’s largest pipe organ, a 54-bell carillon, and more. He maintains an active solo performance, broadcast and recording schedule, and is a laureate of several international competitions.
We are thrilled to welcome Jonathan to Music Mondays to perform on Holy Trinity's superb Casavant Frères Opus 3095, 1970 tracker organ.
