David Pipe read Music at Cambridge University as Organ Scholar of Downing College, later studying organ at the Royal Academy of Music. His organ teachers have included David Titterington, Susan Landale and Lionel Rogg.
David has given recitals at many major venues across the British Isles, as well as during tours to the USA; festival performances as soloist have included the Bergen International Festival and the St Albans International Organ Festival. David has appeared as organist and conductor on national television and radio, and has made numerous recordings as organist and continuo player. His solo recordings include original organ works and transcriptions by Liszt and Brahms, and organ music by Huw Morgan; both recordings attracted critical acclaim in the international music press, with performances described as “electrifying”.
David became Director of the Organists’ Training Programme and Cathedral Organist in the Diocese of Leeds in 2016, having been Assistant Director of Music at York Minster. He is an examiner and member of the Academic Board of the Royal College of Organists, and has recently been appointed Head of Organ Studies at the University of Huddersfield in conjunction with his Leeds role. In addition, David is founding Artistic Director of the Leeds International Organ Festival. Increasingly in demand as a conductor and workshop leader, he has been Principal Conductor of York Musical Society since 2012.
In 2018, David was elected Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, awarded to past students who have distinguished themselves in the music profession and made a significant contribution to it in their particular field.
