DATE
TIME
Join us in the chapel for an evening of film and pop music, original compositions and improvisation with organist Matt Walters, AKA Reductio, beneath the chapel’s gilded ceiling.
Organist Matt Walters, performing as Reductio, brings his distinctive approach to the historic chapel organ, blending original compositions with improvisation inspired by cult cinema and iconic pop moments. Moving fluidly between atmosphere and anthem, Walters transforms familiar melodies and filmic references into something immersive and unexpected.
Expect a richly textured, cinematic soundscape — at times meditative, at times electrifying — as the chapel becomes a resonant instrument in its own right. This is live performance at its most spontaneous: bold, playful and entirely unrepeatable.
ABOUT
Matt Walters AKA Reductio studied classics at Homerton College, Cambridge concurrently with an organ scholarship, having learnt the organ at Downside School.
