We are delighted to have appointed Thomas Ridenour to a new position of Development Manager for the Cathedral and Cathedral Music.  With the 500th anniversary of the Christ Church Cathedral Choir in 2026, and inspiring plans ahead for the Cathedral and Cathedral music, Thomas will be instrumental (pardon the pun!) in raising increasing support for a unique and fundamental dimension of Christ Church.  

Thomas is originally from the Washington DC area, where he did his undergraduate degree in International Relations at American University. He then moved to the UK where he received a Masters in Modern History from Kings College London. Thomas is joining the team after working at Sir John Soane's Museum for the past three years in their development and visitor experience teams. He is passionate about music, as well as the preservation of historically and culturally significant institutions, and is very excited to begin his time at Christ Church. He can be contacted here.
