We are pleased to introduce the new Music Trust Officer, Peter Varga (2021).

"As Music Trust Development Officer, I work closely with the Organist and Trust to promote the musical life of the House, and the Cathedral Choir in particular. We seek to fundraise to ensure its continued vibrancy with the aim of promoting excellence, education, and access in perpetuity."  

"As an experimental psychology DPhil student at Christ Church, my research on the interpersonal communication of emotion through music draws on my background in philosophy and theology as well as a lifelong love of music.  I have both led and supported a variety of sacred music programmes including directing the William & Mary Schola Cantorum, serving as Organ Scholar at St Dominic’s Church (San Francisco), and working as administrative assistant to the Pastoral Associate for Liturgy and Director of Music Ministries at the Cathedral of St Matthew the Apostle (Washington, DC)."

"I am pleased to bring together these diverse and interdisciplinary experiences in my work with the Music Trust to support the long and venerable tradition of sacred music at Christ Church."
