We are delighted to welcome our new Wilson Family Sacred Music Intern, Nicolas Kilhoffer!
Born in 2002 in Saverne, eastern France, Nicolas Kilhoffer began studying piano at the age of seven before teaching himself the organ and serving as a church organist from the age of ten. He later studied organ performance and improvisation in Strasbourg with Daniel Maurer and Johann Vexo, who remains his principal teacher, and continued his training in Paris with Christophe Mantoux. He has also participated in masterclasses with Philippe Lefebvre, Vincent Dubois, Thierry Escaich, and Thomas Ospital.
Nicolas regularly performs in recitals in France and abroad, with appearances in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Greece, Italy, Kenya, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Recent engagements have included performances at Grace Church in New York, Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria (British Columbia), Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in Athens, and All Saints’ Cathedral in Nairobi. He also regularly performs with the Trio du Levant, an ensemble for oboe, violin, and organ, touring throughout France, Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Beginning in Fall 2026, he will pursue a Master of Music degree at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, studying with James O’Donnell, Organist Emeritus of Westminster Abbey, London. Learn more at www.nicolaskilhoffer.com
I usually play for just a few minutes, but eggy car somehow turns into much longer sessions as I keep trying to improve my best run.
Some articles explain things in a way that assumes everyone already knows the basics, but this one felt much more approachable. The structure kept me engaged, and the key points were easy to follow. I recently checked AKTU ERP result services after reading something connected to this topic elsewhere, and it reminded me of a question I had while reading. Have you considered adding a section with a few practical examples for beginners?
