About the Artist:
Madison Thompson is a Master’s student at McGill University, Montreal, in the studio of Isabelle Demers. She currently serves as Organ Scholar at Christ Church Cathedral in Montreal, under the direction of Thomas Sheehan. Originally from Connecticut, Madison became interested in the organ through her local church, and began organ study at age 14, earning a scholarship towards her studies. Madison double-majored in Music and French at Trinity College (Hartford) where she studied under Christopher Houlihan, served as Assistant Chapel Organist, and was a recipient of the John Rose Organ Scholarship. Madison also served as Organ Scholar at St. Patrick-St. Anthony Catholic Church in Hartford under the direction of Dr. Gabriel Löfvall, where she also studied conducting. In 2024, Madison spent a semester of exchange in Paris, where she was a student of Jean-Baptiste Robin, and took harmony and improvisation courses at the Schola Cantorum.
Her recent projects have included working with the McGill Symphony Orchestra as soloist for Camille Saint-Saëns Symphony no. 3 “Organ”, Guest Organist for Christmas Angelicus, and solo recitals in Connecticut, Montreal, and Vermont. When she is away from the console, Madison enjoys hiking, baking, and wine and cheese tasting.
