David Baskeyfield
We welcome David Baskeyfield as our Music Intern for the 2007-2008 season. He is at the beginning of his second year at Eastman, where he is studying with David Higgs towards a Master's degree in Organ Performance. His undergraduate years were spent at St John's College, Oxford. He read Law and his duties as senior organ scholar entailed directing or accompanying the college choir in two weekly choral evensongs in the Anglican tradition. Having left Law behind with a certain amount of relief, he subsequently spent a year as organ scholar of St Patrick's and Christ Church Cathedrals in Dublin before arriving in the States to embark on full-time music study. He cooks and enjoys heavy red wine.
David is not unknown at St. Paul's, having served as a substitute organist a number of times in the past year. He began his duties September 1.
