Organ concert with Mark Duville (B)
16 July 2024 : 12.15 - 13.00
Mark Duville is an amateur musician in the truest sense of the word: an enthusiastic lover of music and making music. His musical training began at the youth music school in Edegem, soon followed by the music academy in Mortsel where he studied solfège, piano and clarinet. A thorough education as an engineer and computer scientist interrupted the music training somewhat, but later provided him with a stable job in the medical sector. Since 2011, he has been taking organ classes, both at the Mortsel academy and in a number of organ courses in Belgium and abroad (Gedinne, Tongeren, Saessolsheim, Poitiers, Kaliningrad). He is also active with chamber music, orchestra (clarinet), and occasional ensembles. He plays works by Couperin, Sweelinck and de Grigny.
