NICHOLAS WHITE

Nicholas White is a Grammy nominated composer and conductor, as well as a versatile organist, pianist and singer with experience in many different styles of music. In 2011, Nicholas was appointed to the

post of Director of Chapel Music & Organist at St. Paul’s School, Concord, New Hampshire. In 2012 he became Chair of the Arts at the school. In 2013 he was appointed Music Director of The Boston

Cecilia, one of America’s oldest and finest performing arts organizations.  

Nicholas was born in London, England, and received his early musical training as a treble chorister. He held his first organist and choirmaster position at the age of fifteen, going on to become Organ

Scholar of Clare College, Cambridge.  Since moving to the United States in 1989, Nicholas has held various positions in churches, colleges and schools. These include Washington National Cathedral,

Washington, DC and St. Michael’s Church, New York City.  In 2003 Nicholas founded Tiffany Consort, an ensemble of eight accomplished singers. The group's first CD, "O Magnum Mysterium" was nominated

for a Grammy, and the second CD, "In Sure and Certain Hope: Choral Music of Nicholas White,"was released in December 2006. Both recordings are available on the MSR Classics label.

  Dumbarton Concerts in Washington, DC commissioned White’s setting of Poe’s “The Raven”which was performed to great critical acclaim by The Raven Consort in 2013. Additionally, Nicholas recently completed a dramatic song cycle, “On Dreams Alone”, which has been inpreparation for the last two decades. Nicholas is in high demand as a composer, receiving

numerous commissions from choirs across the country. Most recently these have included The Hanson Institute for American Music (Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY), Lyric

Fest (Philadelphia, PA), Christchurch Cathedral (Cincinnati, OH), The Commonwealth Youthchoirs (Philadelphia, PA), The Chancel Choir (Lubbock, TX), The Association of Anglican

Musicians (Hartford, CT), St. John’s Cathedral (Albuquerque, NM), St. Mary’s Episcopal Church (Newton, MA), Dumbarton Concerts (Washington, DC), Granite State Choral Society

(Rochester, NH), and Shadyside Presbyterian Church (Pittsburgh, PA.)

"White's Anglican roots are readily apparent here, in gentle music of surpassing beauty and sacred sincerity. This composer certainly understands the appeal of soaring melody, lush harmony, and tender sentiment.”
