Biographies
Henry Webb
Henry Webb won second prize, the audience award, and the Raymond-Daveluy prize at the 2024 Canadian International Organ Competition. He is currently completing his master’s degree at McGill University, where he studies organ with Isabelle Demers and harpsichord with Elizaveta Miller. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, he also studied at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg under Johann Vexo and Benjamin-Joseph Steens. His former teachers also include Christina Harmon, Scott Dettra, and Nathan Laube.
In 2023, he won second prize and the audience award at the Ottumwa University Organ Competition. In 2025, he was named among Diapason magazine’s “20 under 30,” recognizing the most promising young musicians. Henry has already performed in recitals across Canada, the United States, and France, including on Pipedreams Live, at the East Texas Pipe Organ Festivals, at the Organ Historical Society’s national convention, and at the Stras’Orgues festival in France.
Colin Miller
Originally from Lafayette, Louisiana, Collin Miller is currently a doctoral student in organ performance at McGill University, where he studies with Isabelle Demers. He holds a degree from the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, where he studied with Martin Jean, and from Indiana University, where he was a student of Janette Fishell. He is currently serving as interim co-music director at Christ Church Cathedral in Montreal. Previously, he was a sacred music intern in Rye, New York, and an organ intern at Christ Church Cathedral in Indianapolis. A winner of several competitions, he took first prize in the Southwest Regional AGO Competition in 2017 and in the Poister Competition in 2021. That same year, he was a finalist in the prestigious St. Albans International Competition, and in 2019, he was named to Diapason magazine’s “20 under 30” list. Passionate about rare and demanding repertoire, he was the first American organist to perform a solo organ work by British composer Sorabji. His doctoral research, dedicated to Sorabji’s Third Symphony for Organ, has been supported by the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture.
