The School community is celebrating the achievements of Old Andrean Callum Knox (OA2019), who has recently been appointed Organ Scholar at St George's Chapel, Windsor in the United Kingdom. Callum's appointment follows several years of musical study and accomplishment. During his time at School, he served as Head Chorister in 2016 and Vice-Captain in 2019, and was an organ scholar at the Cathedral, where he developed the musical foundations that would take him abroad. Most recently, Callum completed his studies in Organ at the Royal Academy of Music in London, one of the world's leading conservatoires. His new role at St George's Chapel places him within one of Britain's most historic and significant musical and liturgical traditions. Located within Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel has served for more than 500 years as the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter and is widely regarded as the King's private chapel. The chapel has hosted numerous royal weddings and funerals and is also a principal royal burial place, housing the tombs of monarchs including Henry VIII, Charles I, George VI and Queen Elizabeth II. For a young organist, an appointment at St George's Chapel represents a remarkable opportunity to work within a musical tradition of the highest standard while contributing to the life of a site deeply connected to British history. We congratulate Callum on this wonderful achievement and look forward to following his musical journey in the years ahead. |
