Bond was "mad about the organ" from the age of three, when he played his grandmother's instruments. He attended
Churchdown School followed by
King's School in Gloucester where organists for
Gloucester Cathedral were educated for many centuries. He got serious about becoming an organist only when he received a scholarship to a cathedral school, and learned for a year with
Andrew Nethsingha. He studied at
Bristol University. Bond was organist at
Clifton College, then at the
Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick, and served for eight years as Assistant Director of Music at
Truro Cathedral. In Truro, he gained national recognition appearing in a recording of music by
Benjamin Britten in 2013, the composer's centenary year, with the
Truro Cathedral Choir conducted by
Christopher Gray. They recorded both choral and organ solo compositions. The same year, he made his first organ solo recording, entitled
Mighty Voice, combining works by
Mendelssohn,
Charles-Marie Widor and
William Walton with music by contemporary composers. In 2014, he took part in a recording
Vox Clara with music by
Gabriel Jackson, with the Cathedral Choir conducted by Gray. Several works were especially written for the choir, and some recorded for the first time. In April 2017, Bond took over as organist and assistant director of music at
St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Besides accompanying or conducting the
Chapel Choir in eight choral services each week, he has played for highly visible functions such as the 2018
wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the
funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 2021. For the funeral service, he had to play several pieces both before and after the service, as well as accompanying the choir during the service. In 2018, Bond was the organist of a recording titled ''Christmas at St. George's Windsor'', with the Chapel Choir conducted by music director
James Vivian, recorded at
St Matthew's Church, Northampton, and including music also for
Advent and
Epiphany. A reviewer described him as "a model of accompanimental sensitivity". In 2019, Bond was resident organist of the Milton Abbey International Music Festival of
Voces8 vocal ensemble. He performed works by
J. S. Bach on the
Abbey organ, before a concert of Bach's
St John Passion on 31 July 2019. On 21 November 2019, Bond appeared as the soloist for Poulenc's
Organ Concerto with the
Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Bernhard Gueller. == References==
