Nicolaiconcert

The Nicolaïkerk (St. Nicholas church) is a medieval church in the southern part of the old city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. This building is the home of two very interesting instruments, the organ built by Marcussen and the carillon built by the famous Hemony brothers (17th century). These instruments are the backbone for a series of concerts, which are organised each year by the Stichting Culturele Evenementen Nicolaïkerk (Foundation for Cultural Events in the Nicolaïkerk ).

Duration of the concerts is approx. 45 minutes.
Tickets are sold at the entrance of the church, doors open half an hour before concert start time. No reservation is needed.

For the current program you can browse our program agenda.

The Nicolaikerk is located at the Nicolaaskerkhof in the inner city of Utrecht (See city map Utrecht).

Deutsche Geigenmusik

Jonathan Talbott-violin
Tormod Dalen-violin
Stephen Taylor-organ



The early Italian sonatas by Fontana, Frescobaldi and others are performed so often that one might be forgiven for thinking that no other virtuoso music for the soprano and bass violins was written at the time. Nothing could be less true! All the works in the programme Deutsche Geigenmusik were written north of the Alps before 1660. They not only prove that a tradition of soprano and bass violin music existed that could stand its own against contemporary German organ music, but also that this music has the capacity, in the words of Thomas Mace, "to make a man's ears glow, and fill his brains full of frisks."
