David Goode, Organist

David Goode is Organist and Head of Keyboard at Eton College; he combines this with a busy international career. He was a music scholar at Eton College and organ scholar at King’s College, Cambridge. There he studied the organ with David Sanger, and in Holland with Jacques van Oortmerssen.

From 1996-2001 he was Sub-Organist at Christ Church, Oxford, and following major prizes at the 1997 St. Alban's Competition and the 1998 Calgary Competition, he concentrated on a freelance career between 2001 and 2003. In 2003 he moved to Los Angeles, where he continued his recital schedule alongside the post of Organist-in-Residence at First Congregational Church, home to the world’s largest church organ.

He has appeared at many of the UK's leading venues as well as in Europe, Canada, South Africa, South Korea, Australia and Singapore.

His recordings, including those with the BBC Singers and BBC Philharmonic, range from French Showpieces from King’s in 1994, to the 2004 first volume of a landmark project to record the complete organ works of Max Reger. In 2005, he recorded the BBC Music Magazine cover CD from Eton, A Bach Christmas.

In 2006 he has been a featured artist in the Rising Stars series, performing in seven European concert halls this year and he tours Australia this summer. Since 1999 he has visited the US extensively; in 2007 he returns to play at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and plays at the Leipzig Gewandhaus.

David performs J S Bach's Fantasia and Fugue in G minor BWV 542, Jeremiah Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary Prince of Denmark's March, Enrico Bossi's Etude Symphonique Opus 78, Charles Widor's Toccata, (from the 5th Symphony) and J S Bach's pedal solo from Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C BWV 564 in How Music Works.
