Organ Competition and recitals

Under the careful tutelage of the renowned Sean Farrell,  many of our young keyboard players have developed their organ skills to fantastic levels.

By lucky coincidence you can hear the cream competing for Wellington's annual Organ competition, the Haldane.

Ann performs throughout the United States, Great Britain and Europe; with a repertoire that ranges from the 14th Century to the present day. Her recital career was launched by success in two major competitions (including First Prize in the 1998 NYACOP) and she has received wide critical acclaim for her ability to move between a range of musical eras, styles and genres with sympathy, panache and flair. After completing honours degress at Yale, where she won several major prizes for scholarship, and for organ playing.

Passionate about brining organ music to a wider audience and injecting new ideas into the organ world at large, Ann has also been involved in founding several initiatives, including co-founding of the London Organ Forum, an annual study day combining academic research and live performances.
