Organ sensation Reductio at the Parish Church – March 9
Come join us for an unforgettable afternoon at Kirkcudbright Parish Church on Sunday 9 March from 3-5 pm.
Get ready to be amazed by the talented Reductio and immerse yourself in the magical music that this young man creates.
An alumnus of Homerton College, Cambridge, Matt Walters is keen to bring organ music to a new young audience. He recently performed a concert of organ music at Wells Cathedral in aid of the restoration of the organ. However, all is not quite as it seems as Matt, aka Reductio, has been shaking up the world of classical organ music with his classical-dance music re-mixes and has become a bit of Tik-Tok sensation.
Matt’s programme will feature the following and more:
- ABBA – Lay All Your Love On Me, Dancing Queen
- Coldplay – Viva La Vida
- Hans Zimmer – Inception, Gladiator
- Original organ music including ‘Prelude in E Minor’ and ‘Lux’, Matt will likely premiere a new piece or two.
- Boellmann – Suite Gothique
- Widor – Toccata
Tickets priced £16.96 (£11.55 for students and school children) can be purchased at Eventbrite or reserved by emailing stuartcochrane25@hotmail.com.
All proceeds go to Kirkcudbright Parish Church Redevelopment Project. Complimentary refreshments during the interval.
Matt learned to play the organ whilst at Downside Abbey School, where he still plays as his family live locally. He started learning the piano whilst at school, but in Year 9 his music teacher joked that his ability at playing football might mean he would have the necessary co-ordination to be talented at playing the organ, a prediction which turned out to be correct.
Reductio has rapidly emerged as a dynamic presence in the music scene over the past year, amassing over 100,000 followers across various platforms. His recent appointment as an Associate Musician at Dulwich Prep & Senior highlights his growing influence.
In 2024, Reductio embarked on an extensive tour across England, performing at numerous venues and cathedrals, and he’s set to expand his reach internationally in 2025.
