His performance in Beverley has been welcomed by Beverley Minster’s Musical Director Robert Poyser, he said;

“The performance will be a rare opportunity for audiences in the region to listen to this highly regarded and exciting organist.”

Daniel is also looking forward to the evening playing the Minster’s organ.

“I’m really looking forward to playing on this magnificent instrument,” he said. “I’ve been attracted by the reputation of the organ which should be particularly fine for the pieces selected.”

Daniel’s programme includes Elgar’s Sonata for Organ – a piece extremely well suited to the Minster organ.

Recent projects have included a performance of the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in six recitals to celebrate the centenary of the composer’s birth.
