More than sixty years of Dutch music history on the Fokker organ

New music is very important to keep the Fokker organ up to date. That is why a number of Dutch composers are commissioned to write new work. Each composer is given a few days to play the organ. They then write a miniature in which not only their own handwriting but also the organ is fully appreciated. Obtaining new work for the organ goes hand in hand with a look at today's Dutch music.
