Rupert Gough

Rupert Gough is known for the wide range of his activities as a choral and orchestral conductor, organist, harpsichordist, and educator. He has been the organist and director of choral music at Royal Holloway, University of London, since 2005, and he often performs with his wife, Rachel, as the Gough Duo. Gough was born in March of 1971. His first musical studies came as a chorister at the Chapel Royal, St. James Palace. He won a scholarship to the Purcell School for Young Musicians and then attended the University of East Anglia, earning a master's degree with distinction and serving at the same time as an organ scholar at Norwich Cathedral. He held other organ scholar posts at the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace, Rochester Cathedral, and Norwich Cathedral before landing a post as assistant organist at Wells Cathedral, where he remained for 11 years. A third prize at the St. Alban's International Organ Competition in 2001 boosted Gough's performing career. He has worked with leading instrumental groups, including the Britten Sinfonia, the London Mozart Players, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic as well as choirs in various places, and he has accompanied vocal soloists such as Felicity Lott, Emma Kirkby, and James Bowman. His most frequent collaborator is his wife, Rachel, with whom he has toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe, also appearing in Moscow and Hong Kong before large audiences. Since 2005, Gough has been the director of choral music and college organist at Royal Holloway, University of London, and he has performed with the college choir in many countries. He is also organist and director of music at Great Saint Bartholomew, London's oldest surviving church. Gough has appeared on some 50 recordings, mostly as a choral conductor, dating back to several albums he made for the Hyperion label during his Wells Cathedral days. He has also recorded for Priory, Naxos, and Signum Classics, among other labels, and he has often issued albums of works by lesser-known composers such as Sir Percy Buck, Carson Cooman, and Bo Hansson, as well as a Gough Duo recording of the complete works for violin and organ of Josef Rheinberger.
