The Chapter of York is delighted to announce the appointment of Benjamin Morris as Assistant Director of Music at York Minster. Benjamin succeeds David Pipe who is leaving the Minster for a new role as Director of the Diocese of Leeds Organ School and Organist of Leeds Cathedral.

The Chapter is particularly grateful to Martin Baker, Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral, for his wisdom and advice throughout the interview process.

Benjamin will begin his new role in May 2016.

We are delighted that Ben, who has been organ scholar at the Minster since September 2015, will be remaining in York as Assistant Director of Music. He is clearly a highly gifted musician who will contribute greatly to the music and worship of the Minster.”
