Alexander Pott is an organist, conductor, and academic. He is Director of Music at St Cuthbert’s, Earl’s Court and Acting Director of Music at Oriel College, Oxford, and works as a freelance organist and teacher. In 2025 he released a CD of ‘The Eule Organ of Magdalen College, Oxford’ on the Convivium label, receiving excellent reviews. Fanfare Magazine concluded that ‘Pott is a superb organist’, whilst Choir & Organ Magazine described the recording as ‘particularly inspired… warmly recommended’. Previous projects include performing all of Bach’s organ works in 2023, raising over £10,000 for charity in the process. He is a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the music of Frederick Delius, a specialism which feeds into his performance interests, notably through The Delius Singers, a choir he founded and directs in Oxford. Working with children’s choirs has always been an important strand in his work, and having previously been both Assistant Organist and Acting Director of Music at Magdalen College, Oxford, he directs the children's choir of the Edington Festival of Music within the Liturgy, where the best choristers from the UK’s cathedrals and chapels sing together for a week. His studies took place at Christ Church Oxford, Westminster Cathedral, and New College, Oxford, supplemented by support from the Musicians’ Company and the Eric Thompson Trust, and his academic training has been supported by the Delius Trust.

Alexander will be in charge of the improvisation strand of our 2027 Summer School.
