Recently, he has made recording projects on the independent label \u201cEditions Grandier.\u201d The first project was of music of John Bull (1562 &#8211; 1628) at the organ of Oosthuizen (1521), then a project on the music of Heinrich Scheidemann (1595 &#8211; 1663) on the Scherer Organ in Tangerm\u00fcnde (1624). Afterwards came a varied program of early 17th century contrapuntal music on the Goltfuz organ in Sassenheim, and then a recording of the Brussels\/Antwerp Period of John Bull on the Renaissance organ of St. Jacques Li\u00e8ge. He is a part of the newly formed trio THE ALCHEMY, specialising in early 17th century English vocal\/instrumental consort music, performing on organ and harpsichord along with Maciej Skrzeczkowski and Mikolaj Kortarski, with whom they have made a recording project at De Rijkere orgel\/Sint Augustinuskerk (1776) in Middleburg.\u00a0<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"951\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelbennett.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Bennett-photo-1-1-951x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelbennett.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Bennett-photo-1-1-951x1024.jpeg 951w, https:\/\/michaelbennett.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Bennett-photo-1-1-279x300.jpeg 279w, https:\/\/michaelbennett.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Bennett-photo-1-1-768x827.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelbennett.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Bennett-photo-1-1.jpeg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 951px) 100vw, 951px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Bennett (born 1998) studied at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, organ and historic keyboards, and specialises in the repertoire of the 17th Century and improvisation.
