Alan Thurlow

**Alan Thurlow** is a British conductor, organist, and choral director deeply rooted in the tradition of Anglican church music. Best known for his work as Director of Music at Chichester Cathedral from 1988 to 2008, Thurlow has championed sacred choral repertoire, blending historical reverence with fresh interpretations. His recordings, like *Chichester Commissions* and *Great Cathedral Anthems, Vol. 7*, highlight his knack for showcasing both timeless works (think Stanford or Burgon) and lesser-known Victorian gems. A passionate advocate for preserving liturgical music, Thurlow’s projects often spotlight the rich acoustics and heritage of cathedral spaces, making him a go-to name for lovers of contemplative, spiritually resonant choral soundscapes. Whether leading choirs or curating archival recordings, he’s all about keeping those centuries-old harmonies alive and thriving.
