From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Goode (born 1971) is a British organist. He is organist and Head of Keyboard at Eton College, where he presides over a unique collection of historic instruments and teaches young organists; he combines this with a busy international concert career.

David Goode was a music scholar at Eton College and was organ scholar at King’s College, Cambridge from 1991-1994, graduating with top honors. While there, he studied the organ with David Sanger and Jacques van Oortmerssen. From 1996-2001 he was sub-organist at Christ Church, Oxford and as such toured and made several recordings. After winning major prizes at the 1997 St. Alban’s Interpretation Competition, and at the 1998 Calgary Competition, he concentrated on a free-lance career between 2001 and 2003. In 2003 he moved to Los Angeles, where he combined a busy international schedule with the post of Organist-in-Residence at First Congregational Church, home to the world’s largest church organ.
