Friday 19th June 2026Appointment of New Director of Music
The Annunciation Marble Arch is delighted to announce the appointment of Dennis Tjiok as our new Director of Music, effective Sunday 28 June 2026.
Welcoming Our New Director
Dennis brings a wealth of musical expertise, a passion for sacred music, and a deep commitment to fostering community through worship. He is already a familiar face at the Annunciation, having run our Toddler Music Academy and organized numerous concerts for families and children. With his daughter attending our Sunday School, Dennis and his family already feel very much at home in our parish.
Dennis brings an exceptional academic and professional background to this role:
Academic Credentials: Holds a Master of Music from the Royal College of Music (London), a Bachelor of Music from the Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester), and advanced music qualifications from Germany and Austria.
Parish Experience: Highly skilled in choral conducting, organ performance, liturgy, and composition, with extensive experience serving London parishes.
Educational Leadership: Currently serves as Head of Music at a Secondary School, reflecting his deep dedication to developing musicians of all ages.
In his new role, Dennis looks forward to collaborating with our choir to uphold our rich musical traditions, expanding our concert repertoire, and deeply engaging with our church families.
A Message from Dennis
"I am excited to be joining the Annunciation Marble Arch! Performing concerts here, leading music classes for families and young children, and meeting the congregation has been a joy. It is wonderful now to have the opportunity to help shape the musical identity of our Church and Sung Mass.
Having studied as an organ scholar and choir director at the German Music Academy for Church Music (Hessen-Nassau) before studying composition in Manchester and London, finding a bridge between preserving musical traditions and exploring new possibilities has always been central to my work. I look forward to an exciting time of music-making, creating experiences, and celebrating worship together with the choir and congregation!"
Important Dates & Welcome
Please mark your calendars to welcome Dennis and his family on these upcoming dates:
Sunday 7 June: Dennis will be visiting the parish—please take a moment to say hello and introduce yourself.
Sunday 28 June: Dennis officially begins his role as Director of Music, where we will celebrate his first official Sunday with us at the 10.30am Sung Mass.
Please keep Dennis, his wife, and his daughter in your prayers as they begin this exciting new chapter with us.
