ANDREW LUCAS

Andrew Lucas has been Master of the Music of St Albans Cathedral and Music Director of St Albans Bach Choir since 1998 and was Artistic Director of the St Albans International Organ Festival from 1999 to 2007, directing four festivals. At the cathedral he is head of the music programme which includes four choirs and a parish orchestra.

Born in Wellington, Shropshire, in 1958, from 1976 he studied organ at the Royal College of Music in London, where his teachers included John Birch and Herbert Howells. After graduating from London University (BMus) he continued study with Peter Hurford, and with Piet Kee in Amsterdam. He worked for seventeen years at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, the last eight years as the Assistant Director of Music until moving to St Albans. As a solo organist he has played concerts throughout Britain, Europe, Australia, Bermuda and the United States. In 1997 he spent three months as Acting Organist and Master of the Choristers at St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia.
