English Organ Music

Gareth Green began his professional studies at the Royal College of Music, achieving his first Organ Performer diplomas soon after his fifteenth birthday. At the age of eighteen he was awarded the Dixon and Turpin prizes for FRCO. Subsequently, he added his diplomas for Choir training and Composition. He held Organ Scholarships at St. Paul's Cathedral London, Worcester College, Oxford University and at Canterbury Cathedral before being appointed assistant organist at Wakefield Cathedral and music master at Queen Elizabeth Grammer School Wakefield, in January 1983. Between 1985 and 1991 he served as Director of Music at the school, a post he has now relinquished in favour of his free-lance interests as a recitalist, examiner, adjudicator, accompanist, composer and private teacher. He has given over 200 recitals in the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe, including a number of radio broadcasts.
