Douglas Lawrence OAM has been Director of Music at Scots’ Church since 1984. He teaches organ at the University of Melbourne and was Master of the Chapel Music at Ormond College from 1982 to 2006. He has been awarded the OAM for services to music.

Douglas plays the organ most weeks for the Sunday 11am worship service, as well as training and conducting the choir.

Throughout the year Douglas is responsible for producing, directing and conducting many concerts and performances with the choir and with various instrumental ensembles, both in Scots' Church and beyond.

The Rieger Organ that was installed in 1999 was built to Douglas' specification and it has proven to be a wonderful continuation of the musical tradition and standard that has been the hallmark of Scots' Church since its foundation.

Dr Robin Batterham AO is assistant organist. He covers Douglas Lawrence’s leave, as well as assisting in special church services, concerts and performances.

Robin has a distinguished career in research science, having completed undergraduate and PhD studies in chemical engineering at Melbourne University.

He currently serves as Chief Technologist for Rio Tinto, and has also recently completed a term of office as Chief Scientist to the Federal Government.
