About Stephen Farr

Stephen Farr is highly regarded among his generation of organists, performing a vast repertoire with considerable focus on contemporary works. He has performed at many of the major English cathedrals, in concertos with leading orchestras, is the music director at St. Paul's Knightsbridge, and chief examiner for the Royal College of Organists. Farr also performs on the harpsichord as a continuo player in chamber music settings. He has a diverse repertoire spanning from the Renaissance to the 21st century, dedicating much of his programming to new music. In 2011, Farr premiered The Everlasting Crown, written for him by Bingham, in his solo BBC Proms debut. Farr's recordings are equally as varied as his performing career. He accompanied the Winchester Cathedral Choir in a cycle of Stanford's Sacred Choral Music, and he has issued recordings of organ works by Kenneth Leighton, Judith Bingham, and James MacMillan.
