DANIEL MOULT

Daniel Moult has an active career as a concert organist and organ tutor and has gained a reputation as a leading organist of his generation. Born in Manchester, Daniel studied at Oxford (where he gained the Fellowship diploma of the Royal College of Organists with three of the top playing prizes and was jointly awarded the University of Oxford John Betts Organ Scholarship) and the Amsterdam Conservatorium (with Jacques van Oortmerssen). Previous posts have included visiting organ tutor at Chetham’s School of Music, Manchester and seven years as Organist and Assistant Director of Music at Coventry Cathedral.

Daniel is now based in London where he has a busy freelance career. He performs throughout the U.K. in many major concert series, venues and festivals, with an eclectic repertoire stretching from the fourteenth century to the present day. He appears frequently on BBC Radio and TV and has recorded as soloist and accompanist for various record labels and for Radio Netherlands. A sought-after organ tutor, he teaches at the Royal College of Music Junior Department, Birmingham Conservatoire and St Giles' International Organ School, London.

He is in frequent demand for master classes and workshops, including regular visits to courses and days run by the RCO, RSCM and IAO. Passionate about promoting the organ to a wider audience, Daniel has also been involved in various outreach projects. These have included working for the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester as organ animateur (where thousands of children have heard the organ in popular concerts) and other events across the U.K. and in Australia. In addition to examining for the A.B.R.S.M and the R.C.O, his articles on performance practice and performance-related topics have appeared in various organ journals. He is also Artistic Director of the London Organ Day.

Recent and forthcoming engagements include profile concerts for various series and organist societies in the UK and Australia, a tour of Switzerland and France with the Kammerorchester Basel (as soloist in a Handel Organ Concerto), choir accompaniments for concerts, services and BBC broadcasts, directing and tutoring on various national organ courses and the launch of three recordings (two DVDs of virtuosic twentieth-century repertoire and earlier English repertoire with Fugue State Films and a CD of the Handel / Basel project on the Deutsche Harmonia Mundi label).
