One of the distinguished musicians of his generation, D’Arcy Trinkwon is acclaimed as a unique artist who demonstrates superlative artistry and prodigious talent at international festivals and celebrity concert series in concert halls, cathedrals and churches around the world - including solo, concerto and broadcast appearances, masterclasses
and coaching.
Branded an 'enfant terrible' in his earlier years, his inspired playing exudes an effortlessly virtuoso flamboyance, passion for the music, and dedication to his art; it also demonstrates a remarkable mastery of colour and serves to prove that the organ can be emotionally searching musical medium.
Respected for always giving more of himself than is expected, his musical scholarship and for encyclopaedic repertoire – one of the most extensive of any artist before the public - have enabled him to draw many to the organ as a true concert instrument.
His programmes - each tailored to the individual instrument he is playing – never fail to display musical integrity and maturity.
Alongside his concert career he is Organist of Worth Abbey (OSB) and Organist to the University of Sussex.

"The supremely gifted organ virtuoso D’Arcy Trinkwon... His subtle yet magisterial command of the instrument was spell-binding: he knows no technical difficulties and his playing was in total accord...” THE ORGAN |
"So much infectious joy radiates from his performance... that purists could suffer severe pangs of guilt… Technical difficulties don’t exist.” ORGANISTS’ REVIEW |
César Franck & the Sainte-Clotilde Tradition Arundel Cathedral
|
Three concerts celebrating the great organ works of Franck together with works by two of his successors as Organiste-titulaire of Sainte-Clotilde Paris: Franck’s pupil Tournemire and Tournemire’s pupil Jean Langlais (1907-1991) – each key-holders in what has become known as ‘the Sainte-Clotilde tradition’
“These winged paraphrases deserve their place beside the masterpieces of Johann Sebastian Bach!” - so declared Liszt when he heard Franck play his ‘Six Pièces’ at Sainte-Clotilde on 13th April, 1866. Arundel Cathedral - whose proportions and style are similar to those of Saint-Clothilde - will be a perfect venue to hear this beautiful music soar heavenwards. D’Arcy innate affinity with the French repertoire is renowned and has been at the core of his relationship with the organ since he was first drawn to the instrument. He will elucidate the spiritual and emotional power of the message behind the notes with customary fervour. |

“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.”

“To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.”
