BIOGRAPHY
Dr Maximillian Elliott is currently serving as the Music and Liturgy Administrator of York Minster and as Assistant Director of Music at two historic churches in York (St Olave and All Saints, North Street). As an organist, Max maintains an active performance schedule and has taken part in several broadcasts including Sunday Worship (BBC Radio 4).
Max combines his administrative and musical roles with research. Having graduated from the University of York with a first-class BA in Historical Archaeology in 2013 and an MA with distinction in Historical Archaeology in 2015, Max then undertook doctoral research and completed a PhD thesis in 2020 entitled ‘Thou shalt buzz no more’: an examination of the organ-building industry in nineteenth-century York; its origins, growth and prominence.
He has delivered papers at several conferences of the British Institute of Organ Studies and written articles for its annual journal including James Ingall Wedgwood: a correspondent ‘temporarily out of tune’ (2017 JBIOS 41) and Thomas Hopkins and his children: the York branch of a ‘pre-eminently’ musical family (2022 JBIOS 46).
Several presentations that Max produced for the York & District Organists’ Association (an organisation for which he served as President from 2017 until 2019) can still be viewed via www.ydoa.co.uk/youtube.
Max has been an Organs Adviser for the Diocese of York since 2020 and is also a trustee of the John Pilling Trust - a charity that provides financial assistance to Anglican churches (usually within the Province of York) for the purpose of maintaining a high standard of church music (including grants for choirs and organs).
