In May 2007 Trinity announced the appointment of a new organist, Alan Murchie.  We are truly blessed to have a new Organist and Choirmaster of Alan's capabilities. Alan is the Louise H. Maclean scholar at Yale Divinity School, where he is currently concluding a Master of Divinity degree. He was school chaplain and director of music ministries at St. Thomas's Episcopal Church in New Haven. Alan was also Organist and Choirmaster at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale.

Alan is a versatile musician whose performance schedule includes regular appearances as a solo pianist, organist, choral and orchestral conductor, chamber musician and lecturer. Recent chamber music performances include appearances with the New York Philharmonic Chamber Players at Merkin Hall and with Silk Road Project violinist Colin Jacobsen. As a solo pianist, Alan has toured Morocco and has performed in Europe, including Vienna, Berlin, Edinburgh, Venice and Florence. Alan made his Lincoln Center debut as an organist performing works by Mozart at Alice Tully Hall.

Alan's musical career began early, at age 10, when he joined the renowned St. Thomas Choir of Men and Boys. He appeared as treble soloist on St. Thomas' 20th Century Services. He was graduated summa cum laude from Yale College, where he was named "most promising and gifted composer". His Paean for brass and woodwinds was chosen to open a concert dedicating the new Yale School of Music campus. After college, Alan returned to St. Thomas as Organ Scholar and as a member of the Choir School faculty. He later served St. James' Church, Madison Avenue, as organist and director of the church's professional choir, which in 1999, released Christmas at St. James', produced by Bejun Mehta.
