Programme
When he retired from Canterbury Cathedral at the end of 2020, David completed just over 42 years of service in Cathedral music. Having been Organist and Master of the Choristers there since 1988, he was previously Organist and Master of the Choristers at Lincoln Cathedral 1986-8 and Assistant Organist at Canterbury from 1978: his first post straight after university in Oxford and Cambridge.
While many recordings were made with the Cathedral Choir, to great acclaim, tours to America and Europe and concert and broadcast performances when the opportunity arose, it was always the daily sequence of services which was at the forefront of David’s attention. The regular performance to the many thousands of visitors and pilgrims was a great joy.
Having studied with Gillian Weir and Jean Langlais, he now finds more time to give to the organ, which is a great pleasure. This is shared with the time to spend more time in France and visiting many of the places he has longed to see.
He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Music by the University of Kent in 2001 and he is an Honorary Fellow of Canterbury Christ Church University and a Visiting Fellow of St John’s College, Durham. He was recently elected an Honorary Fellow of St John’s College, Oxford, his alma mater. He is an examiner for ABRSM.
While missing the daily performance, David is so grateful not to have to write any more Risk Assessments!
