Luke is an organist, pianist and conductor who loves opera and choral music. Luke’s student years saw him combine organist roles at the choirs of Cambridge’s Gonville and Caius and Trinity Colleges with directing an extensive programme of opera projects from Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea to The Bear by William Walton. Luke is now Assistant Director of Music at Coventry Cathedral. Luke’s academic interests include Musical Analysis, particularly of compositions including the singing voice, and exploration of how analysis of such works may include consideration of the spaces in which such works are performed. Engaging with Marginalia’s projects provides Luke with an exciting new opportunity to see and take part in such processes of reimagination and adaptation in action.
