MATTHEW LARKIN was born in Oxford in 1963 and moved to Canada with his
family at the age of six. He received his early musical training as a boy
chorister at St. George's Cathedral, Kingston under George Maybee. He began
organ lessons at age eleven with John Gallienne and was appointed Assistant
Organist while still in high school. In 1981, Matthew enrolled in the
Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, as Organ Scholar of Trinity
College, studying with John Tuttle. He later studied with Nicholas Danby at
the Royal College of Music, London, and other teachers have included Patrick
Wedd and Jonathan Rennert.



From 1988-95, Matthew served as Organist and Choirmaster of the Church of
St. John the Divine, Victoria. In 1995, he was appointed Organist and
Director of Music at St. Matthew's Church, Ottawa. While in Ottawa, Matthew
was Music Director of the Anglican Chorale, with whom he participated in
three tours of Britain, Director of the Ottawa Opera Boys' Choir, and
Founding Director of Euphonia Chamber Choir (a position he retains). He
enjoys a wide reputation as an organ recitalist and accompanist, choral
conductor, composer and recording artist. He has appeared as soloist with
several of Canada's orchestras, including that of the National Arts Centre.



In September of 2002 he became St. James’ Cathedral’s second Music
Associate, and the first to be charged with Directorship of the Cathedral
Choir of Men and Boys. In September 2003 he returns to Ottawa as Organist
and Director of Music at Christ Church Anglican Cathedral.
