Artist Biography
James O'Donnell is among the leading British organists of his generation. While some might further define him as a church organist and choir director -- roles he has fulfilled with the utmost commitment -- he has been active on the concert stage both as an organist and conductor. His choice of repertory has been broad, taking in the music of Renaissance-era icons like Palestrina and Josquin Desprez, as well as that of 20th century masters like Stravinsky and Poulenc. O'Donnell led the Westminster Abbey Choir at the funeral services of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. The following year, he took up a teaching position at both Yale's School of Music and its Institute of Sacred Music.
