Amy’s Page
You might like to come to this page to relax and listen to Amy play some beautiful music for you. There are also some recordings of her accompanying Steven.
In this Interlude, Howden Minster’s very own Director of Music Matthew Collins performs the joyful and sparkling Prelude in C by German organist and composer Johann Christoph Kellner (1736-1803). The performance features the Minster’s wonderful Rushworth & Dreaper organ – one of the finest in the region.
Matthew Collins studied the organ with Christopher Gray (Truro Cathedral) and Roger Tebbet (Selby Abbey) and was appointed Director of Music at Howden Minster in 2009. Oratorio credits as director or accompanist include Messiah, Stabat Mater (Poulenc), Requiem (Fauré, Duruflé and Rutter) and Petite Messe Solennelle (Rossini). In addition to his church and choral work, Matthew is Head of Music at the De Costa Academy of Singing, York.
