Greg Morris

Greg Morris is Associate Organist of the Temple Church in London, a position he has held since 2006. He accompanies the acclaimed Temple Church Choir, and has appeared with them on broadcasts and CD recordings. In addition, Greg takes a major role in the training of the choristers, and regularly directs the Choir, recently completing a term as Acting Director of Music. As an organ recitalist, he performs at major venues throughout the UK and Europe. In 2005 he gave the world premiere of David Briggs’s Organ Concerto, which he has also recorded with the Northern Chamber Orchestra. He has released two solo CDs to critical acclaim, and his playing on the recently released Missa de Gloria, a CD devoted to the organ music of Kenneth Leighton, has been described as ‘authoritative and more than equal to Leighton’s virtuosic demands.’ Born and educated in Manchester, Greg studied the organ with Paul Stubbings, John Kitchen and Thomas Trotter. He held scholarships at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, St Martin-in-theFields, and Jesus College, Cambridge, where he directed the Chapel Choir. Greg won the prize for overall performance in the FRCO examinations, for which he was awarded the Silver Medal of the Worshipful Company of Musicians. From 2000-6, he held the post of Assistant Director of Music at Blackburn Cathedral
