Since 1949 we are organizing a recital series around the famous Arp Schnitger-organ of St. Martin's church in Groningen, Netherlands.
Celebrated performers like Marie-Claire Alain, Ton Koopman, Gustav Leonhardt, Michael Radulescu, Wim van Beek and Harald Vogel have played the organ in these series and consider it to be one of the finest instruments in the world both because of its excellent playability (mechanics by Jürgen Ahrend) and its wonderful sound, in the individual stops (some dating back to the 15th century) as well as in the majestic full organ, which has a brilliance that is not found anywhere else.
The organ is the only instrument in the world that still contains 32-feet principal pipes originally manufactured by the great Arp Schnitger in the years 1690/91.
