Owen Rees is a choral conductor, organist, and musicologist, and his various activities, by his own testimony, reinforce one another. He is a professor at Oxford University and organist and choir director at Queen's College there. An early Rees recording, Masters of the Royal Chapel, Lisbon, was made with the group A Capella Portuguesa in 1994. Rees has a catalog of well over 30 albums as director of various groups. Since 2013, he has led the Choir of the Queen's College and Contrapunctus in a series of recordings of mostly English choral music. In 2024, Rees issued a trio of albums: How the Mighty Are Fallen: Choral Music by Giovanni Bononcini (with the Choir of the Queen's College), Harmonies of Devotion (with Contrapunctus), and That Sweet City (with the Choir of the Queen's College).
