East Sussex baroque organ and harpsichord player

Conductor and organist Nick Houghton began his musical career at the age of seven, as a chorister at Coventry Cathedral.

Since studying organ with Nicolas Kynaston and Lady Susi Jeans whilst at Bristol and Cambridge, he has worked as a professional musician. Nicholas is currently Music Director of the Lewes Singers and the Lewes Chamber Choir, and is a Lecturer at the East Sussex Academy of Music.

Based in East Sussex, baroque specialist Nick plays regular engagements as a professional recitalist and continuo player, often with his own 18th-century style Goetze and Gwynn chamber organ or his Italian Bizzi harpsichord. Nick is available for playing engagements with or without his instruments.

As accompanist and conductor he has worked with international artists, orchestras and many choirs. Recording credits as an organist include David Fanshawe's African Sanctus produced by the composer himself in 1994.

Nick is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists.
