Concert will feature Trinity Hall's new pipe organ

The programme will include works by Buxtehude, Mendelssohn, JS Bach, Karg-Elert and Duruflé. “I wanted music that was sufficiently varied to show off a wide number of colours on the organ,” said Hyde, who is one of England's most sought-after young organists and conductors. “My selections are drawn from the solo repertory as well as liturgical music. I wanted to show the instrument off at its best.”

The concert is one of several this year that are celebrating the installation of the organ. It was blessed by the Bishop of Norwich at a service of dedication and inaugural concert on 15 October 2006. The organ is the first to be built in the UK by the firm of celebrated Danish builder Carsten Lund and was designed with help from the world famous concert organist David Sanger. It comprises 17 stops and three transmissions split across two manuals and pedals. The organ sits in Trinity Hall Chapel, which was built in 1366 and is the smallest in Cambridge.

Hyde became a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists at the age of 16 and in September 2002 was a concerto finalist with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in the RCO Performer of the Year competition, winning Second Prize and the Audience Prize. He is a former Organ Scholar of King's College, from where he graduated in 2003 with First Class Honours in Music. Since March 2004 he has been Director of Chapel Music at Jesus College, where he is responsible for training both the choristers and the adults of the College's two choirs.
