Kees van Houten
Kees van Houten was born in Helmond in 194O. After grammar school, he studied piano and organ as majors at the Brabant Conservatory in TiIburg with, respectively, Paul Niessing and Hub Houet. In 1963 he obtained his teaching certificate for piano and in 1965 his degree for organ.

Kees van Houten has won prizes at improvisation courses in Bolsward and St. Albans. Since 1957 he is the organist of the St. Lambertus Church in Helmond, where he plays the historical Robustelly organ from 1772. From 1971 to 1992 he taught organ at the Highschool for Arts, Faculty of Music, in Utrecht.

Together with Marinus Kasbergen, teacher of theory at the Brabant Conservatory, Kees van Houten studied the number symbolism in J.S. Bach's music in great detail. In 1985 the Walburg Press published their book, "Bach and the Number". A second volume, "Bach, die Kunst der Fuge and the Number" was published in 1989, together with a new score of the "Kunst der Fuge".

As a performer, Kees van Houten plays in the Netherlands as well as abroad. He gives lectures, workshops and courses of interpretation in the Netherlands and abroad, especially about Bach's music and more specifically subjects such as Ars Retorica (relation between text and music) and the age-old Pythagorean and medieval tryptique of Music Theory of Numbers (Arithmatics) Cosmology (Astronomy and Astrology).
