ALAN SUTTON (Great Britain) - as a church organist, he began to play at the age of 10 and since then has fallen in love with organ music.His main teachers were Anna Page and Graham Barber. He took master classes in Germany from Herald Vogelem. In 1980, he participated in several festivals in Harlem, Salamanca, San Sebastian and the Northern German Organ Festival, which gave him the opportunity to get acquainted with different styles of organ music. “In fact, I never learned to play at a music school or college. I got a music college diploma by passing exams externally. And I first tried to get it as a pianist, but did not score the required number of points. I again passed as an organist - and received a diploma. The only music competition in which I took part was in Chester. I was 18 years old, I participated as a pianist and became a winner, ”says Alan Sutton In 1983, Alan Sutton graduated from the Department of History at Cambridge University. After graduation, he began working as a manager at enterprises in England, and since 1989 in Hungary. In 1984, he received a diploma from the Royal Royal College of Music, majoring in organ music. Alan Sutton wrote several choral works that were performed at a service in Budapest. From 1989 to 1997 he worked as an organist at the Scottish Missionary Church in Budapest.He later became chief accountant at a Hungarian private company for the production of sunflower oil. The same investment group that worked with the Hungarian concern was also an investor of the Dnieper oil-extracting plant, known for its trademark Oleina. “Since no one agreed to go to Ukraine, I was offered this position, and I went to Dnipro as the financial director of Oleiny. I worked for 10 years. After that I worked in Kiev for 2 years: CFO at the representative office of British Petroleum (the largest oil and gas producer in the world) and for two years I headed the planning and budget department of Ukrnafta. And then the situation in Ukraine changed: foreign investment stopped. I went to Colombia for six months. I was in South America when these dramatic changes took place in Ukraine in 2014. I was very worried. And I decided to return. " Alan Sutton currently lives and works in the Dnieper. Despite his busy schedule, he continues to give several concerts a year in Ukraine, Hungary, Estonia, and Japan. In the late 90s, he bought a house in the Ukrainian village of Sukhachevka, and although he did not change his British citizenship, in his heart the musician considers himself already half Ukrainian. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Organizers of the X International Festival of Organ Music named after Theophile Richter - 2020: -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------▪️President International Organ Festival T.
