ActivitiesSince the renovation of the Fokker-organ is completed and the instrument is placed in the BAM Hall of the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, there are lots of activities around this unique 31-tone organ. ConcertsThe Fokker organ is the showpiece of the Huygens-Fokker Foundation and starting in 2009 new works are being written for it, both in solo and ensemble settings. In the coming years the Foundation will regularly program concerts with the Fokker organ and these works. Fokker organ workshopsThe Fokker organ is a one of a kind instrument. The keyboard is particularly special in it's layout and can require quite some effort to master. To give organists the opportunity to learn about this unique instrument, the Huygens-Fokker Foundation organizes workshops. Through these workshops organists will learn in practice more about microtonality and the possibilities of the Fokker organ. Introductory education Elementary School
LecturesThe Huygens-Fokker Foundation is eager to spread knowledge about microtonality. To facilitate this, the Foundation organizes lectures in places such as the BAM Hall of the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, where both historical and modern perspectives on microtonality are given. These presentations occasionally take the form of lecture concerts where live demonstrations are given on the Fokker organ. Additionally, pre-concert introductions are often given before concerts organized by the Foundation.
