WILLEM VAN TWILLERT (1952) studied organ at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam with Piet Kee as his Organ professor, with whom he also studied improvisation and composition. In 1975 he began 3 years of orchestral conducting studies with Anton Kersjes. In 1976 he obtained the diploma for Church Music and in 1978 the diploma of Performing Musician cum laude, with a teaching-endorsement for improvisation. A scholarship afforded him the opportunity to specialise in old music between 1978 and 1981, including studies with Gustav Leonhardt.

These have been printed in the Netherlands, and have also been issued on CD.

Prachtige uitvoering! Knappe prestatie van organist, registranten en cameraman/vrouw. De toevoeging 'Amazing organist' boven de video is echter volstrekt overbodig en doet m.i. afbreuk aan het geheel! Snel verwijderen boven deze en andere video's! Goede wijn...
