Biography
Edward is Master of Music at Pusey House, directing the octet of choral scholars and playing for services. A particular highlight of his time here was an orchestral High Mass with the Oxford Baroque Players, featuring Haydn’s Paukenmesse. Ed is also the Senior Organ Scholar at Keble College, Oxford, accompanying the college choir for their weekly services, under the direction of Christian Wilson.
He is also organist to the Campion Hall, Oxford (a Jesuit private hall of the University), too. Ed is an undergraduate in his final year of a Music degree.
He studies conducting with Will Dawes and organ with David Ponsford (as part of the Oxford-RAM scheme), having previously studied organ with Adrian Bawtree and Stephen Farr. He is an Associate of the Royal College of Organists. Before going up to Oxford, he spent a year at the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied with Anne Page and David Titterington.
A keen singer, he is a part of the early music ensemble, Antiquum Documentum, which organises concerts and liturgical reconstructions. The most recent of these was a High Mass and Procession for Candlemas according to the use of Salisbury (Sarum), in St Bartholomew the Great, London. This is part of a series of services charting the development of the English liturgy from the high Middle Ages to the Civil War; the next one will take place in the summer.
