Scott serves as the organist and director of music for St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue in New York City, where he directs the renowned choir of men and boys. He previously had a 26-year association with St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, serving as organist and director of music from 1990–2004.

Plus, the movies are great.”
