MGS presents Amanda Mole
Hailed as a rising star, Amanda Mole is quickly earning a reputation as one of the leading concert organists of her generation. She was the first-prize winner of the 8th International Musashino-Tokyo Organ Competition in 2017, one of the largest and most prestigious organ competitions in the world. She also received first-place and audience prize winner at the Miami International Organ Competition and the first-place winner of the Arthur Poister Organ Competition. In 2016, Amanda was chosen as one of The Diapason magazine’s Top 20 Under 30, a feature that selects some of the most successful young artists in the field.
She has performed at venues across the USA, Europe, and Japan and was featured in recital at conventions of the American Guild of Organists in 2022 and the Organ Historical Society in 2016 and 2018. She is frequently broadcast on the radio show Pipedreams LIVE! and has recorded a CD that was released in 2019 on Naxos, the largest classical music label in the world. Shortly thereafter in 2020, Amanda released a collaborative CD of music for trombone and organ with RPO trombonist Lisa Albrecht and the Hohenfels trombone quartet.
Ms. Mole is from Holden, Massachusetts, and is completing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree as a student of David Higgs at the Eastman School of Music. In 2011, Amanda graduated from the Yale Institute of Sacred Music and the School of Music with a Master of Music degree in Organ Performance and Sacred Music. During her time at Yale, Amanda studied organ with Martin Jean and Choral Conducting with Maggie Brooks, and was the only candidate in her class to receive the Church Music Studies Certificate for additional sacred music and theological studies.
