Stephen Bullamore

Stephen Bullamore started his musical life as a chorister York Minster. He studied as an undergraduate at Keble College, Oxford as Organ Scholar, where with the chapel choir he recorded a number of CDs, including part of Priory Records' Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis series and broadcast live on BBC radio. In conjunction with his post at Keble, Stephen was Organist and Director of Music at St Mark's, Swindon. Postgraduate study at Goldsmiths resulted in the degree of MMus in Historical Musicology, gained with Distinction.

Stephen spent a year at Guildford Cathedral as Organ Scholar before moving to Lincoln Cathedral in 2001 as an Assistant Organist. Since his appointment as Director of Music at Waltham Abbey in 2005 he has led the church choir through major works such as Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s St. John Passion and Duruflé’s Requiem as well as regular services. The choir has also toured to Guildford, Chichester and Chelmsford Cathedrals and will be recording a CD in the autumn of 2009 in advance of the church's 950th anniversary.

Stephen directs the chamber choir, Ferdinand’s Consort whose recording output includes CDs of the music of Thomas Morley and restoration composer Thomas Tudway (due for release late 2009). An accomplished choir director and organist he holds diplomas in both disciplines from the Royal College of Organists. Future plans include a critical edition of the complete works of Thomas Tudway.
