Paul Trepte

Paul Trepte (born 1954) is an English cathedral organist who served at St Edmundsbury Cathedral and Ely Cathedral.[1]

Background

Paul Trepte was born on 24 April 1954 in Morley, West Yorkshire and attended Batley Grammar School. He studied the organ with Donald Hunt and Nicholas Danby and composition with Herbert Howells.

He became organ scholar at New College, Oxford in 1972.

He was appointed Assistant Organist at Worcester Cathedral in 1976.

At St Edmundsbury Cathedral he reinstated an all-male singing environment, after Harrison 'Fred' Oxley controversially decided to introduce girls into the Cathedral choir there.

Whilst Trepte was Director of Music and Organist at Ely Cathedral he oversaw the introduction of Ely Cathedral Girl's Choir, also known as ECGC. This was a new connection between Ely Cathedral and the King's Ely.
