Biography

Liuwe Tamminga trained at the Groningen Conservatory and obtained his diploma in 1977 under Wim van Beek. He went on to study in Paris with André Isoir and Jean Langlais, and then in Italy with Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini.

Since 1982, he has been the organist at the Basilica of St Petronius in Bologna, which contains historic organs by Lorenzo da Prato (1471-1475) and Baldassarre Malamini (1596). He shares this post with Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini.

His performances of Renaissance and Baroque music, especially Italian, have earned him the consensus of specialized critics, as well as many awards. He has held concerts all over the world and taught Master Classes in the most important institutions in this field (at the Academy for Italian Organ Music in Pistoia, at the Haarlem Summer Academy for Organists, in Boston etc). He has collaborated for years with other important experts in this sector, such as Frans Bruggen, Bruce Dickey, Sergio Vartolo and with well-known ensembles such as the Concerto Palatino and Odhecaton.

He contributes to the appreciation and rediscovery of little-known authors, such as Fiorenzo Maschera. As a musicologist he has edited publications of works by Marco Antonio Cavazzoni, Jacques Buus, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Giovanni de Macque and other composers.

He is the Curator of the San Colombano Museum – Tagliavini Collection in Bologna. This was inaugurated in 2010 and is unique, due to the quality and quantity of its exhibits. These date from between the sixteenth and nineteenth century and include clavichords, organs, harpsichords, spinets, pianos and automatic instruments; as well as wind and folk instruments.
