Bio / Background
Biography (See Review below)
Michael was born in Wanganui, NZ in 1975. He began playing piano at the age of two. From the music of J.S. Bach and W.A. Mozart, especially, Michael has established a unique art of classical improvisation in his keyboard playing. His style is self taught and through a strong memory for musical structure, Michael is able to create an improvisation around any theme.
Tutored on the pipe organ at King's College, Auckland, in 1991 he toured with a school group around France and England. A highlight was a performance on the organ at Canterbury Cathedral. Michael completed a Bachelor of Music and Diploma of Teaching at Auckland University in 2002. He was appointed Organist at St Matthew-in-the-City in April 2002 and is presently teaching classroom music at Avondale and Baradene Colleges.
This is Michael's first recording. See review below.
