David Schofield

Organist

David Schofield is known for his affinity for the music of Charles Tournemire, a lesser known impressionist. Schofield's performances of Tournemire's seldom heard Sept Chorale-Poemes sur les Sept Paroles du Xrist at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, the Riverside Church and the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in New York received much acclaim. Schofield gives a popular all Bach program each year at St. Francis Lutheran Church in San Francisco. His Bach performances have been featured on National Public Radio's Pipedreams.

Schofield currently serves as Music Director at St. Francis Lutheran Church in San Francisco. He held posts as Director of the Sacred Concerts and Chaplain's Organist at Columbia University in New York and Director of Music and Liturgy at St. Dominic's Church and Music Director of the Arts at St. Dominic's Concert Series in San Francisco.

Dr. Schofield attended the University of Cincinnati, l'Université de Paris, Sorbonne and the Manhattan School of Music where he studied composition with Lukas Foss and John Corigliano, and organ with John Walker.
