Prominent New Zealand organist Dr John Wells is to present an organ concert in Waiapu Cathedral in Napier on Sunday, 15th March 2020 at 2.30pm.
As the first New Zealand musician to live primarily as a free-lance professional organist, John has won over audiences throughout the country and abroad with the skill of his playing, the variety of his programmes and the engaging way he relates to his audiences.
John is a graduate of Cambridge University where he was organ scholar at King's College Chapel. He received his organ performance doctorate with high distinction from Indiana University. He is well-known as a concert performer, composer, recording artist and teacher. Tours have taken him to Australia, England, Poland, Germany, France and North America. He is an examiner for the Associated Board.
He is a keen proponent of digital technology, especially in New Zealand, as it enables him to travel with his custombuilt organ to bring live music to parts of the country lacking adequate pipe organs.
He gave the world's first organ concert in a shearing shed in 2017.
