John Grew is University Organist and chair of the Organ & Church Music Area of the McGill Schulich School of Music where he has taught since 1973. He collaborated with the organ builder Hellmuth Wolff in the planning of the French Classical organ for Redpath Hall. In Canada he is a frequent recitalist on both the English and French networks of the CBC, and has appeared as soloist with numerous chamber orchestras. He was unanimously awarded the First Medal at the Geneva International Competition in 1970, and subsequently has concertized extensively in Europe.

He has recorded for the RTBF (Belgium), Radio-France, and German Radio,  and his concerts from  European  Festivals have been heard on Radio-Canada's "Festivals du monde". He has served on international competition juries, and given master classes at European Conservatories and North American Universities. The art of John Grew is best summed up by a London music critic, who wrote in The Daily Telegraph that "... it takes an artist of Mr. Grew's exceptional quality to stress the scale, variety and eloquence of Couperin ... he relished the music's gravity and boldly-questioning manner."
