Christian Wilson was head chorister at Westminster Abbey and it was during this time that he began studying the organ. As music scholar at Uppingham School he continued studies with Daniel Phillips and Nicholas Kynaston. The prospect of a position as Assistant Organist at St George’s Cathedral, Perth, Western Australia encouraged a ‘gap’ year there, following which Christian took up the Christopher Tatton Organ Scholarship at Christ Church, Oxford. Whilst at Oxford his principal organ teachers were David Sanger and John Wellingham.

Christian recently completed the M Phil in Performance and Musicology at Oxford submitting ground-breaking work on the use of organs and alternatim techniques in music for the Lady Mass in pre-reformation England. This course also supported advanced practical training allowing Christian to take classes and participate in master-classes with Marie-Claire Alain, Jon Laukvik, Naji Hakim, Nicholas Kynaston, Hans Fagius and Harald Vogel.

In 2006 Christian was awarded the Nicholas Danby Scholarship for study abroad which continues to support advanced studies with Jon Laukvik and Ludger Lohmann on the solo postgraduate course at the Hochschule für Musik in Stuttgart. Christian is extremely grateful to the Nicholas Danby Trust and the Wingate Foundation for their generous support and advice.

Christian performed at St Dominic's Priory on 6th October 2007:
