NICOLAS KYNASTON was born in 1941, the son of a painter and a violinist, and the youngest of seven children. He was a chorister at Westminster Cathedral when George Malcom was Director of Music, and at 15 he was awarded a scholarship to study with Fernando Germani at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in siena. He went again to Siena the following year and was then awarded further scholarships to continue his studies with Germani in Rome and later with Ralph Downes at the Royal College of Music in London. Whilst a student in Rome he was Organist to the church of S. Rocco where there was a fine organ by Cavaillé-Coll. Since his appointment to Westminster Cathedral in 1961 he has performed both in England and abroad, notably at the Athens Festival in 1965, at the Royal Festival Hall in 1966, at the Third International Bach Week in Bonn, and at the Royal Albert Hall in 1967.
