Bart Jacobs has been prominent among the organ players who have emerged from the Low Countries in the 21st century. He studied organ, harpsichord, and continuo playing, often focusing on historical performance practice, while working as organist of the Brussels Cathedral Choir. Jacobs was appointed organist at the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels in 2012. He undertakes international touring with a wide variety of early music ensembles and has carried out research in the use of large organs as continuo instruments. Among the results of this work are Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott: Luther and the Music of the Reformation, recorded with Vox Luminis. Jacobs has also reconstructed and performed lost organ concertos by J.S. and C.P.E. Bach. ~ James Manheim
