Peter Westerbrink is organist of three world-famous Arp Schnitger organs: the Pelstergasthuis Kerk in Groningen (1693), Noordbroek (1696), and the Aa-kerk in Groningen (1702). After graduating from the Groningen Conservatory, he has specialized in the older Dutch and North German organ music.

He performs and teaches throughout Europe and the United States, giving recitals and seminars as well as performing on the radio and making recordings. His next CD project is a recording of the complete organ works of Hieronymus and Jakob Praetorius.

Westerbrink has taught and performed at a number of major international festivals and academies. From 1983 to 2003 he was, together with Harald Vogel, artistic director of the famous Dollard Festival. Since 1990 he has been the artistic director of the International Organ Academy Groningen, based in Noordbroek, which attracts an increasing number of students from all over the world for intensive study of the older North German organ repertoire.
