John Scott was born in 1956 in Yorkshire, England. He studied organ with Jonathan Bielby, Ralph Downes, and Dame Gillian Weir and made his debut in the 1977 Promenade Concerts in the Royal Albert Hall, playing Reubke's Sonata on the 94th Psalm. In 1974 he became Organ Scholar of St. John's College, Cambridge. On leaving Cambridge, he was appointed Assistant Organist at London's two Anglican Cathedrals: St. Paul's Cathedral and Southwark. In 1985 he became Sub-Organist of St. Paul's, and in 1990 was appointed Organist and Director of Music. His work there involved training and directing the choir and overseeing the Cathedral's busy music program. In recent years he was responsible for the music at a number of high-profile events, including the National Service of Thanksgiving for the Millennium, the services to mark the 100th birthday of Her Majesty The Queen Mother, and the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. His career as a recitalist has taken him to five continents. In the summer of 2004, after a 26-year association with St. Paul's Cathedral, he took the post of Organist and Director of Music at St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, where he directs the renowned choir of men and boys.
