About the Artist: A graduate of the University of London and the Royal Academy of Music with advanced organ performance diplomas from the Royal College of Music and the Royal College of Organists, Neil Weston was appointed to his first cathedral organist position in England at the age of 17. He has played regularly on BBC Radio and Television as well as performing numerous solo recitals throughout the United Kingdom and in Europe. He emigrated to the United States in 2000 and has performed in several of the nation’s most prestigious venues, including the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, Washington National Cathedral, and the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. A past prizewinner of the American Guild of Organists National Competition in Organ Improvisation, he was presented by the AGO in concert as an improviser at the National Cathedral on three occasions.
His solo and ensemble recordings number over a dozen commercial offerings on both sides of the Atlantic. His performance style has been described by Musicweb as “exuding confidence, clarity, and precision”; the American Record Guide has complimented his “admirable playing”, and The Organ Magazine has praised his “superb performances”.
Mr. Weston’s performance will incorporate many modern organ features including multiple memory levels, record and playback, customized console power-up settings, multiple stoplists, wireless remote, wireless voicing (and what we mean by ‘voicing’) and AirTurn® page turning.
Sure to be an enlightening experience and enjoyable evening with colleagues, we hope you will join us! Doors will open at 6:00PM with the program beginning at 6:30PM followed by refreshments and discussion.
