National Museum Cardiff
Finished

Join us for the next concert in our organ recital series at 1pm on Friday 30 May.

Originally from Penarth, Elin Rees is a freelance accompanist, recitalist, and the organist at Bury Parish Church. After studying at the Purcell School of Music at 16, she attended the Royal Northern College of Music, obtaining a BMus(Hons) followed by an MMus in Solo Piano Performance. While at the RNCM, Elin was Pilling Trust Organ Scholar at St Ann's Church, Manchester. 

From 2014-16 Elin was a Junior Fellow in Accompaniment at the RNCM, where she continues to work as a freelance accompanist, playing for many of the College's principal study tutors, particularly in the School of Vocal Studies. 

As an organist she is in demand as an accompanist for choirs including the Alteri, Kantos and Manchester Chamber Choirs. She has played with various visiting church choirs for services at cathedrals across the country, including Canterbury, Gloucester and Durham, as well as York Minster. She has performed at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and given recitals in Cardiff's St David's Hall. 

As capacity is limited in the gallery, pre-booking is essential.
