Richard Webster
Composer, church musician, conductor, and organist — Richard Webster is currently Lecturer in the Institute of Sacred Music (ISM) at Yale University. He retired in 2022 as Director of Music and Organist at Trinity Church, Copley Square, Boston, after 17 years. During 2023-2024 he served as Interim Director of Music at St. Paul’s Choir School, Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. As a composer and arranger, he completes several commissioned works a year. His hymn arrangements for brass, percussion, organ, and congregation are heard across the world, including the CBC’s Christmas and Easter broadcasts, BBC’s “Songs of Praise,” at a hymn festival in Sweden’s Lund Cathedral, and in an Australian celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
