Biography
Henry Morris is the Senior Organ Scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he regularly accompanies the internationally-renowned College Choir. Alongside his organ playing duties, Henry coaches the choristers of the choir in their daily rehearsals, and directs the choirs on occasion. Henry reads Music as an undergraduate of the University of Oxford. 

Henry began his organ-playing journey at Radley College, where he had previously been a chorister. During this time, he was awarded the Bastyan Organ Scholarship, which saw him accompanying services in the school chapel. Before arriving at Oxford, Henry spent a year as Organ Scholar at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, where he accompanied the cathedral choir on a regular basis. This also saw him have the opportunity to direct services with the Cathedral’s singers, and Henry was also the Musician in Residence at King Edward VI School in Bury St Edmunds, where he acted as principal accompanist for the school’s choirs and ensembles. During his time at the Cathedral, he was awarded the Associateship Diploma of the Royal College of Organists, a position requiring a high standard of organ playing at a professional level.
