Benjamin Sheen, Sub-Organist at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, is one of the UK’s brightest young organists and has established himself as one of the finest liturgical and concert organists on both sides of the Atlantic. Hailed as ‘brilliant’ by the New York Times, he was the 2013 winner of the Pierre S. du Pont First Prize in the inaugural Longwood Gardens Organ Competition and received Second Prize and the Jon Laukvik prize at the St. Alban’s International Organ Competition of the same year. Before moving back to Oxford in 2020, he spent seven years in New York City working as Associate Organist and Acting Director of Music at the world-famous Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue. As a concert organist, he has toured across the world, most recently in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and has collaborated with numerous orchestras including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia and the Auckland Philharmonic.
