Tom Winpenny

Tom Winpenny is an influential British organist and collaborator with the St. Albans Cathedral Choir and the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. He is also a prolific recording artist and has released many premiere recordings of contemporary solo organ music. He was born in 1983 and began taking piano lessons when he was very young. Around the age of eight, he became a chorister at York Minster Cathedral, and he was a student at St. Peter’s School in York. It was also around this time when he began organ lessons with John Scott Whiteley. After he graduated, he became a music scholar at Eton College, where he studied with Alastair Sampson, and he performed with the Eton College Chapel Choir on the album Christmas Music from Eton College, released in 2000. Winpenny was the organ scholar at Worcester Cathedral from 2001 to 2002, followed by a year at St. George’s Chapel of Windsor Castle. He became the Organ Scholar at King’s College, Cambridge in 2003, where he worked with Stephen Cleobury, performed daily services, and directed the King’s College Choir. He also recorded with Cleobury and the choir on the 2005 release John Rutter: Gloria; Magnificat; Psalm 150, and he toured with the choir to the U.S., Hong Kong, and several locations in Europe. After he completed his studies in 2006, he was appointed assistant organist at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. In 2008, he won first prize at the Miami International Organ Competition, and he became the Assistant Master of Music at St. Alban’s Cathedral. Through the 2010s he recorded frequently as a solo artist, and with the St. Albans Cathedral Choir. Winpenny's solo discography includes the music of Olivier Messiaen, and many premiere recordings of organ works by Malcolm Williamson, Gerald Hendrie, and several others. His 2022 release Elgar: Complete Organ Works received overwhelmingly positive criticism, and it was honored with a Gramophone Critic’s Choice of the Year award. Other recordings from 2022 included the works of composers Arnold Cooke and Elisabeth Lutyens. He released Gerald Hendrie: Complete Organ Music, Vol. 1 in 2023, and he continues in his roles at St. Alban’s Cathedral.
