Douglas Witte
DIRECTOR OF MUSIC
Douglas received his undergraduate training in organ and choral music at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge Massachusetts, graduate level training in organ performance at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam, and pursued independent studies under the auspices of the North German Organ Academy, based in Uttum, Ost-Friesland. He has been St John's Music Director since 1993. His musical interests are eclectic, running the gamut from Hindustani sacred music to 1930s Berlin cabaret, but his primary loves are the organ music of Sweelinck and the 17th century North German school, and the Anglican choral tradition, from Tallis to Stanford.
