David Wright MA (Oxon) FRCO

We are sad to announce the passing of David Wright MA (Oxon) FRCO.  David served As Organist and Choirmaster of St Botolph’s Boston from 1957 until his retirement in 1999.  He also served as Director of Music at Boston Grammar School over the same period.  After his official retirement, he  continued to support the musical life of our church, accompanying services and giving recitals, eventually being awarded the honorary title of Organist Emeritus.  David was an outstanding musician of great talent, whose skill and enthusiasm touched and inspired many choristers and school children during his time in Boston, who have since gone on to pursue successful musical careers of their own.  In 2019, David received an honorary ARSCM award from the Royal School of Church Music in recognition of his many years of service as an outstanding musician and servant of the church.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
