Laurens Bogtman

Laurens Bogtman (February 8, 1900, Oudkarspel - 1969 in Hilversum, the Netherlands) was a Dutch baritone.

Unlike many contemporary singers his career began late at the age of 30, and he was educated in singing in Berlin, with Otto Iro in Vienna and with Aaltje Noordewier-Reddingius in Hilversum.

Bogtmam debuted in 1932 in a concert of the Kölner Bachvereins (Cologne Bach Society). He then had a successful career as an oratorio singer in Germany, Austria and England and travelled further afield.
