 A
leading concert organist of the younger generation, Colm Carey offers a
blend of fresh invention and technical finesse, establishing him as a
remarkable and distinctive performer. Born in Ireland, Carey studied at
the Royal Academy of Music in London with Nicholas Danby and David
Titterington, where he read for a University of London BMus. He also
gained the Dip.RAM, the Academy’s highest performance award, and later
became Meaker Fellow. As winner of the prestigious Julius Isserlis
Scholarship, he went on to study at the Conservatoire de Musique de
Genève with Lionel Rogg, where he won the ‘Premier Prix de Virtuosité
avec Distinction’ on completion of his course. He subsequently won the
Audience Prize at the St. Albans International Competition.
 Since then Colm has performed in France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden,
Italy, Denmark, Canada, the USA, Australia and throughout Britain and
Ireland. His repertoire embraces all the major traditions, from the French
Classical School and the German Baroque to the great symphonic tradition
of the nineteenth century, and as a keen exponent of contemporary music he
has given first performances of new works by Lionel Rogg, Roderick
Williams, Ruth Byrchmore and Andrew Johnstone.
