Thomas Trotter is one of Britain’s most widely admired musicians, reflected in Elizabeth II awarding him The Queen’s Medal for Music on St Cecilia’s Day 2020. He has had a special relationship with the City of Birmingham since he was appointed City Organist in 1983 at the renovated historic Town Hall. He is also Resident Organist of the magnificent Klais organ in Symphony Hall. His much-anticipated appearance at Buckfast Abbey coincides with the deferred centenary of the Exeter and District Organists’ Association, and his programme includes a newly commissioned work, Defeating Lucifer, by Thomas Hewitt Jones, to celebrate the Association’s long-standing role in the county’s music.
