Johan Brouwer has given concerts in the Netherlands, France, England and Germany, and as leader/harpsichordist formed part of the Groningen baroque orchestra Collegium Musicum. Concentrating not just on the great traditional works of the baroque but also on unknown work from the 17th & 18th centuries.
