Simon at the Organ

Simon Dinsdale

A highly experienced, versatile accompanist (organ and piano) and continuo player, Simon Dinsdale began playing the organ at the age of 13 and by the time he was 16 had recorded his first disc.

He is a former Organ Scholar of Chichester Cathedral where he accompanied the world-renowned choir regularly during the daily sung services in the cathedral.  Whilst there he studied organ with the cathedral organist, Alan Thurlow and the late David Sanger.

Now living in Berkshire Simon travels extensively throughout the UK as accompanist, continuo player and organist to several choirs, and regularly plays at cathedrals throughout the UK.  Other recent performance venues have included Eton, Winchester and Wellington College chapels.
