Jem Lowther took up the position of Director of Music at All Saints’ Church in Northampton in September 2015. In this role he takes charge of the training and direction of the choirs, as well as all the other musical activities of the church. Educated as a Music Scholar at Eton College, Jem spent his gap-year working as an organist in Washington D.C. and New York City, before taking up an Organ Scholarship at Corpus Christi College Oxford. In this role he acted as musical director for the college’s chapel choir, leading them in performance both at home and abroad. He left Oxford with a first-class degree in Music, and the highest mark of any organist in his finals recital. Alongside his work as a choral conductor, Jem continues to be active as an organ recitalist, recently presenting Widor’s Sixth Organ Symphony and a large section of Bach’s Clavier-Übung III in performance. He is an Associate of the Royal College of Organists, and studies with both Thomas Trotter and Ronny Krippner. He is also the Education and Training Officer for Northampton & Peterborough’s RSCM committee, which, in 2017, has seen him lead workshops on choral direction, plainchant, and working with children.
