BIO:

Christoph Bull likes organ music, rock music and rocking organ music.
He hails from Mannheim, Germany, and has been University Organist and organ professor at UCLA since 2002. He’s also Principal Organist at First United Methodist Church in Santa Monica and concertizes internationally.
He improvised his first tunes on the piano at age five and started playing church services, organ concerts and rock shows at age twelve. He’s been at home in the worlds of classical and rock ever since practicing the organ in the choir loft and with his first rock band in the basement of the same church.
In L.A., he has performed at Royce Hall and Cathedral Of Our Lady Of The Angels, but also at the Whisky A Go Go, the Viper Room, and the Roxy.
With violin player Lili Haydn he opened up for Cindy Lauper, with Sitar player Nishat Khan he performed in India. He has played the pipe organs at the Catholic Cathedrals of Moscow, Salzburg, Saint-Denis, and Los Angeles.
His academic stations include Karl-Friedrich-Gymnasium Mannheim, University of Church Music Heidelberg, Musikhochschule Freiburg, Berklee College of Music, University of Southern California, and American Conservatory of Music. His organ teachers in chronological order were Hermann Schaeffer, Ludwig Doerr, Sam Swartz, Cherry Rhodes, and Paul Jordan. He also studied in master classes with Guy Bovet and Marie-Claire Alain.
In 2004, Dr. Bull was a featured recitalist and workshop presenter at the National Convention of the American Guild Of Organists. The same year, he gave his first of eleven public performances to date on the one-of-a-kind pipe organ at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown L.A.
He also accompanies Silent Movies on the pipe organ and collaborates with live painter Norton Wisdom and videographer Benton C. Bainbridge. In 2006 and 2007, he received an ASCAPlus Award for innovative concert programming.
He has worked with the L.A. Master Chorale and Grammy-Award-winning Southwest Chamber Music, and also with Bootsy Collins and George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic. He has produced numerous classical, rock and educational albums.
Outside of music, Christoph has run the L.A. Marathon three times and won the German youth championship in baseball with this team, BC Tornados Mannheim. Other accomplishments include reading the whole Bible, watching all Star Wars movies in a row in chronological order of the story line, and listening to all songs released by Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr.
