St. Matthew's Musical Director

Stephen Moore

Stephen is Director of Music at St Matthew's Church, Northampton, where he oversees the day to day running of the music department and directs the choir in all choral services at this famous parish church. He completed his undergraduate studies at Trinity College of Music, with organ as principle study, graduating in 2008 with a first class honours degree in performance and winning the Silver Medal for keyboard studies. Whilst at Trinity he studied with William Whitehead and Colm Carey and twice won the Cardnell Organ Prize for outstanding performance. He became an Associate of the Royal College of Organists in 2007.

Whilst in London Stephen spent two years working at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, having previously held posts at the Old Royal Naval College Chapel in Greenwich and Southwell Minster. Upon finishing his degree, Stephen spent a year as Organ Scholar at Salisbury Cathedral, working closely with the cathedral choirs and playing for some of the nine choral services held in the cathedral every week. Until December 2010, Stephen held the post of Organist and Director of Choral Music at Felsted School, Essex, as well as Musical Director of the Braintree Choral Society. He supplements his work at St Matthew's with teaching at Northampton Grammar School in Pitsford, and for Northamptonshire Music Service.

As a soloist he has given recitals in numerous churches and cathedrals throughout the country, most recently Salisbury, Leicester, Wakefield and Chelmsford Cathedrals. He performed in the Three Choirs Festival in Worcester in 2008, and the Southern Cathedrals Festival in Salisbury in 2009. As an accompanist he has played, recorded and broadcast with cathedral, church and adult choirs in London and throughout England, and has worked as continuo player with various groups. He also works with solo singers and instrumentalists, being in particular demand for sensitive accompaniment both as organist and pianist.
