Alexander Pott is an organist, conductor, and academic active in Oxford, Cambridge, and London. From 2017 he spent eight years as Assistant Organist and Tutor to the Choristers at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was fortunate to be involved in the building and celebration of the new Eule instrument. As part of these celebrations, he improvised accompaniment to a silent film, and performed the complete organ works of J. S. Bach across two terms, in the process raising over £10,000 for Great Ormond Street Charity.

As an academic, his specialism is in the music of Frederick Delius, which is the subject of his PhD at the University of Cambridge. This specialism also feeds into his performance interests, notably through The Delius Singers, a choir he founded and directs in Oxford. He is in demand as a recitalist, conductor, and teacher, and is known particularly for his innovative programming of choral and organ music with education at its centre.

His organist training took place at Christ Church, Oxford and Westminster Cathedral, supplemented by support from the Musicians’ Company and the Eric Thompson Trust, and his academic training has been supported by the Delius Trust.
