David Cook
Organist-Accompanist-Teacher-London

Profile:

David Cook is organist at the church of All Hallows by the Tower London.  He has held various church appointments in and around London and for ten years was Director of Music at St. George's Church Bloomsbury and at Saint Mary Abchurch.

He studied the organ and harpsichord in London with Gordon Phillips, Christopher Bowers-Broadbent and Peter Hurford and subsequently furthered his studies in Paris with Daniel Roth and Naji Hakim.

David has an active career as a recitalist and performs regularly in the U.K, France, Germany and Spain.  Venues include St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

He is a keen exponent of Baroque and early English organ music, but his varied and interesting repertoire encompasses music from the sixteenth century through to the present day and includes transcriptions of orchestral works, pieces by neglected Victorian English composers, complete symphonies by Widor and Vierne as well as concertos by Bach, Handel and Poulenc. 

David is much in demand as an accompanist and continuo player and in this capacity appears regularly with the London Gala Orchestra.
