Professor David J Smith (organ)
Northumbria University

David J Smith is an organist, harpsichordist and recorder player. He specialises in early seventeenth century keyboard music from England and the Netherlands and in improvisation in a variety of styles and idioms. David J Smith is renowned for his improvisations... he gave us a sturdy Prelude and Fugue in the German Baroque style and he brought the recital to a close with a Toccata- like modern piece, full of wonderful sharp edges, twists and turns and excellent good humour.
Before moving to Northumbria University in September 2018 as Founding Head of Music, David was professor of music at the University of Aberdeen, where he served as Head of Music and was Master of Chapel and Ceremonial Music.
David is also the husband of our Minister Rev Elspeth McKay
