Stephen Z. Cook
Stephen Z. Cook divides his time as a classical musician with multi-faceted responsibilities that underscore his abilities and interests. As the new Director of Music at Westminster Presbyterian Church in West Hartford, Connecticut, he conducts the chancel choir, serves as principal organist, and oversees an active music program rich in choral and instrumental music. In his off-duty time he keeps busy with his administrative work for Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists, an international performing arts agency located in nearby Hartford.
He holds a Bachelors degree in piano performance with honors from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, a Masters degree with a major in organ performance and a minor in choral conducting from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in organ performance and pedagogy from the University of Iowa. Dr. Cook's academic, fraternal, and professional memberships include: Pi Kappa Lambda, Phi Mu Alpha, the American Guild of Organists, and the Association of Anglican Musicians.
Festive and Fun!
Stephen Z. Cook presents a panorama of organ favorites to demonstrate his facile technique, solid musicianship, and this instrument's ability to convincingly play many 
styles from the literature . . . J.S. Bach is represented by a virile performance of his ubiquitous "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," BWV 565 . . . Dr. Cook's Variations on "Nun danket alle Gott" and March on "Bradbury" are creative, fresh, well-conceived new interpretations of these familiar tunes.
The American Organist
. . . [Cook's] own variations are short but not without interest, with some modern harmonies and a clearly-heard theme.
American Record Guide
Distinguished organist Stephen Z. Cook has recorded a disc for the Towerhill label on the recently installed [2006] John-Paul Buzard organ at Williamsburg Presbyterian Church. The good folks there can take pride at having such a splendid instrument . . . Cook even contributes his own quirky and fun-filled "March on BRADBURY." In all, a most enjoyable hour with the King of Instruments.
