PAUL McKEEVER

 
 

Paul McKeever is organist at one of Dublin’s largest city centre churches: Adam & Eve’s. There, he oversaw the reconstruction of the instrument in 1996 to its place of prominence in Ireland and set up an annual concert series to include international artists. Also, he helped revamp the liturgical music working with groups like the Lassus Scholars, Piccolo Lasso, and the Orlando Chamber Orchestra. He founded the first secular Schola (with stipend) Schola Cantorum Dublinensis in Ireland specifically singing Western plainchant at the Mass and at Vespers. He taught at St. Columba’s College, Rathfarnham for nine years and was organist at the only Headmaster’s Conference service held in Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin.

He has performed much of the Symphonic repertoire of Vierne and Widor whilst been an active improviser. As well as a performer at the NCH, Dublin, he is a recorded artist on two RTE labelled CDs: Scenes of an Irish Christmas & Christmas Faith of our Fathers.

His artistic direction and musical arrangements with Schola Cantorum Dublinensis led to two releases: Canticle of the Sun which hit the top ten of HMV Classical section and Suantraí na Maighdine which was selected to be sold in aid of the charity Childline; a subsequent video, with donated footage by the famous Russian artist Mikhail Aldashin, was released and played on RTE television. He recorded a solo album The Telford Voluntaries including his own works and others on the melaphron label in 2003. He is currently a doctoral student at UL researching the organ and its development in Ireland with emphasis on the nineteenth century.
