Organ Scholarship
The organ scholarship at Hereford Cathedral runs annually from 1 September to 31 August. It was set up in 2008 to provide an organ student with the experience of working in a cathedral music department and to develop and extend his or her skills in service playing, choir accompaniment and all the other relevant subjects. The cathedral’s first organ scholar was Simon Bland, who took up the organ scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, in autumn 2009.
The organ scholar from 2009 to 2010 is Jeremy Cole, who will also be taking up the organ scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, in autumn 2010.
The organ scholar from 2010 to 2011 will be Tim Parsons.
The organ scholarship for 2011–12 will be awarded in the autumn of 2010. Geraint Bowen, the organist & director of music is always pleased to hear from prospective candidates or to answer any general enquiries about the post.
