Liuwe Tamminga
Organist and harpsichordist Liuwe Tamminga was born on September 25, 1953 in Hemelum, the Netherlands. Referred to by the press as ‘the king of organs and keyboard instruments’, he was best known for his performances of Italian early music. He trained at the Conservatory of Groningen and studied in Paris, France with André Isoir, who was the owner of the organ of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. Continuing his studies in Italy, Liuwe Tamminga met organist Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, and began a 30 year collaboration discovering ancient instruments. In 1982, he became the organist at the Basilica di San Petronio in Bologna, Italy and held that position until his death. Contributing to the rediscovery and appreciation of lesser-known composers, he received praise and awards for his performances of renaissance and baroque music with an emphasis on Italian early music. Liuwe Tamminga was also the curator of the San Colombano Museum – Tagliavini Collection in Bologna, which showcased a unique collection of instruments dating from the 16th through the 19th centuries. His recording catalog consists of more than a dozen titles including Organi Antichi Dell’Appenino Bolognese (2000), Puccini, the Organist (2008), Canzoni (2012), Organ Works (2017), and Dialoghi Musicali (2020). Liuwe Tamminga died on April 29, 2021 in Bologna, Italy.
