Matthew W. Noonan wins Beethoven prize

Matthew W. Noonan

Matthew W. Noonan  was awarded the Absolute First Prize in the 2025 Beethoven International Music Competition UK. For this virtual competition, Noonan played J. S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in B Minor, BWV 544. 

An Arthur Poister award winner and the winner of several American Guild of Organists competitions in his youth, Noonan competed to inspire his own young music students to excel in the arts. He continues to teach music at The Math and Science Academy of Charlotte, North Carolina, and he plays for two Lutheran churches each Sunday morning, as well as maintaining a recital schedule.
