During his life-long career as a church musician, Henry Lowe has served parishes in Baltimore, New York City, Hamilton, MA and Cincinnati, OH. In 2016, following a fifty year career in the Episcopal Church, he retired after thirty two years from the Church of the Redeemer, Baltimore, where he led choirs of children and adults in weekly rehearsals and liturgies. During that time he enriched a strong musical tradition with monthly concerts of choral, organ and instrumental music including such masterpieces as Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem, Schubert’s Mass in A-flat and Brahms’ Requiem.
Lowe’s recital career has taken him to many parts of the United States, England, Holland, Germany and France, playing at such noteworthy places as St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. He is past dean of the Cincinnati Chapter and presently dean of the Baltimore chapter of the American Guild of Organists, where he has been a presenter for conventions, workshops and recitals.
Though retired from full-time church positions, he remains active as an accompanist and recitalist along with serving as a substitute in area churches.
