The well-known Dutch musician Arjan Breukhoven will give 11 performances during his 2023 Concert Tour to Australia.

Breukhoven will also give a concert in cooperation with his own choir project the “Australian Christian Men’s Choir” in Perth’s Wesley Uniting Church, featuring, among other things, spectacular organ playing with a musical surprise!

The program contains beautiful organ works, transcriptions, Arjan’s own improvisations on piano and organ, and also occasions with community hymn singing! 

In Australia for the seventh time

The Dutch organist/pianist/conductor Arjan Breukhoven, born in Rotterdam, returns to Australia this year for the seventh time. Before his tour to Australia he played several concerts in the Netherlands and concert tours in Germany and Austria. No Dutch organist has performed in Australia more than Arjan.

During the 11 performances in the Perth, Melbourne and Albany region, he will give several organ and choir concerts and accompany community hymn singing on the piano and the organ.

“If you’ve always wanted to explore organ music now is your chance to discover it for the first time.”

Australian Christian Men’s Choir

In 2018 Arjan Breukhoven started the Australian Christian Men’s Choir. After a few rehearsals, the men gave two concerts. This year rehearsals start on Thursday July 6 at the Free Reformed Church in Kelmscott. After a number of rehearsals, the choir will perform two performances at Wesley Uniting Church in Perth and at the FRC of Kelmscott.
