David Baskeyfield
Organist and Choirmaster
David hails from the United Kingdom, where he read Law at the University of Oxford while serving as the Organ Scholar at St. John's College. His passion for music led him across the Atlantic to the Eastman School of Music, where he obtained his Master’s and Doctoral degrees. Alongside a career as performer and recording artist, David is a devoted church musician. He has a deep sensibility for the liturgy and is committed to the role of music in enhancing its beauty, and helping direct our prayers and praise to God. In addition to his role at St. Paul's, David is Professor of Organ and Sacred Music at East Carolina University (ECU) and Artistic Director of the Eastern Carolina Musical Arts Education Foundation (ECMAEF).
David moved to Greenville from Rochester, NY, with his two springer spaniels, Lucy and Wilbur. He was particularly delighted to leave his snowblower in the garage for the new owners to enjoy, and intends to devote a considerable amount of his free time to offshore- and surf fishing. He also hopes to renew his scuba certification, following a necessary hiatus in upstate New York.
