Edward E. Jones
Edward Elwyn Jones, is currently in his second year of his appointment as the Gund University Organist and Choirmaster.
The Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes announced his appointment at the 2003 Easter morning service where it was
enthusiastically received by the choir and congregation.
Mr. Jones was appointed on the recommendation of the committee established in 2003 to carry out a thorough and exhaustive
search for the position. Serving on the search committee, which was administered by Matthew F. Burt, Research Associate
in The Memorial Church, were three undergraduate members of the University Choir, Professor Thomas F. Kelly of the Music
Department, Professor Samuel L. Hayes of the Business School, and The Reverend David P. Illingworth, formerly assistant
Dean of Harvard College. Together, they considered an international pool of seventy highly qualified applicants.
“In the end,” said Professor Gomes, “we concluded that the talent and resources required to place the
choir where it ought to be in the 21st century were to be found in the person who has served us so well these past months.”
Edward E. Jones directs the University Choir in the 95th Annual Christmas Carol
Services.
