Andrew Forbes, Director of Music at Glasgow Cathedral, is an innovative Scottish organist. ‘Equipped with the physical and mental wizardry necessary to transform this mechanical monster into the most sublime of musical conduits’ (The Scotsman), he receives frequent invitations to perform at prestigious venues throughout Europe, including Westminster Abbey and the Philharmonie de Paris.

Away from the console, Andrew directs the critically acclaimed Glasgow Cathedral Festival – ‘a minor miracle’ (VoxCarnyx) – with bold programming that brings life to the city’s oldest building; he is also a busy teacher, collaborative pianist and recording producer. Andrew advocates for the organ by chairing Scotland’s Churches Trust’s music committee, and is a founder member of Sowne of Organe, a volunteer-led project surveying Scotland’s most significant historic organs.
