The St Matthew’s First Tuesday concert series beings with an organ concert on the great Henry Willis pipe organ.
The concert on Tuesday 2 March at 12.10pm will feature a new and shining star organist, recently moved to Waikato from South Africa.
Eon Malan enjoys a successful career as a church organist, collaborative pianist and choral conductor. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Eon started with piano tuition at the age of six. First Tuesday is his first solo organ concert in Auckland. He holds a Graduate Diploma in Organ Performance (cum laude) from Stellenbosch University. He has also performed in the United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand.
Recently Eon started with a monthly lunchtime organ concert series at St Andrew’s Church in Cambridge which has garnered him and the picturesque venue a wide following. Eon is also assistant organist of the Cathedral in Hamilton and a teacher at St Peter’s school.
The series will continue from March to November 2021 and highlights are The Royal New Zealand Navy Band (May), Music Ensembles of Auckland Grammar School (June), University of Waikato Voices (September) and a range of other concerts featuring the concert grand piano with flute, violin, and solo voice.
