Organconcert Martin Mans and Gert van Hoef

An organ concert in the Laurenskerk is an experience because of the impressive organ with its many stops. Martin and Gert are well attuned to each other and alternate behind the keyboards. Halfway through the concert there is a break in which visitors are given the opportunity to eat something and take a look at the sound carriers. The organists can be found there for meet & greet.

Martin Mans regularly performs for radio and television. He accompanies and conducts various choirs and well-known artists, shows unprecedented enthusiasm for new projects and, together with pianist Jan Vayne, forms the duo ‘Twee Klaviervirtuosos’. He is also artistic director of The Martin Mans Band. He is conductor of the Christian Waddinxveens Men’s Choir de Gouwestem, the Chr. Streekmannenkoor Noord-West Veluwe from Nijkerk, the Zaans Interdenominational Men’s Choir and he leads the men’s ensembles The Martin Mans Formation and the Urker Mans Formation. With his Vocalgroup VOICE, he performs classical and popular choral music of a high level.

In 2018, Gert completed his studies in Early Music, majoring in Organ, at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. Gert regularly gives organ concerts throughout the country.
