The distinguished musician D’Arcy Trinkwon is one of the outstanding virtuoso organists of his generation.
His reputation has been firmly established by performances in international festivals and concert series worldwide.
His interpretations are rhapsodic and elemental, his instinct and inspiration balanced by musical scholarship and integrity. Served by a transcendental technique, these elements combine to allow a complete freedom of expression resulting in often visionary performances, and the emotional power of his playing is something frequently drawn attention to.

“Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything.
It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form.”
PLATO
“To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.”
SCHUMANN
"A musician cannot move unless he too is moved"
