Douglas Mews - Baroque Organ 'Going Dutch for Lunch'

Douglas Mews presents a programme called: ‘Going Dutch for Lunch’, featuring music for a small Baroque organ by 17th-century Dutch composer Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and 20th-century Dutch composers Albert de Klerk, Cor Kee and Hendrik Andriessen. Douglas is one of New Zealand's most prominent organists and harpsichordists. He studied in the Netherlands and his mother was born in Rotterdam. Dutch organ composition in modern times has been inspired by instruments of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, as this recital will demonstrate.
