The organist and conductor Michael Hedley, resident at Amsterdam’s Sint-Nicolaasbasiliek for the past twenty years, died yesterday, two weeks after being diagnosed with Covid-19.

An organist in his teens in Newcastle, he studied at the Guildhall with Nicholas Danby and moved in 1978 to the Netherlands, where he was regarded as one of the country’s foremost church musicians.
