Dominic Perissinotto

Dominic’s “PIPE ORGAN PLUS – Five Sundays in Fremantle” series showcases one of Western Australia’s most impressive pipe organs in the Basilica of St Patrick, Fremantle, where he is Organist and Director of Music. In these concerts he is joined by leading Australian musicians in a wide range of repertoire, from mediaeval music through to specially commissioned works by Australian composers including Brenton Broadstock and David Pye. In 2001 he received a grant from the Music Fund of the Australia Council to commission a new work for organ and sampler by David Pye.

A graduate of the University of Melbourne, he was awarded a Fellowship by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust for further study at the Royal College of Music in London from 1991. While in London he was appointed Organ Scholar at Westminster Roman Catholic Cathedral. He gave regular recitals at St Paul’s and Westminster Cathedrals, Westminster Abbey and Oxford Town Hall, toured Belgium, Italy and England, and has returned regularly to perform in festivals.
