Zac Schurman is an American musician based in Nashville, Tennessee.

He has performed in venues including St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Mary the Virgin, and L’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal in Montréal. His repertoire spans the vast breadth of organ literature.

Across Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Lutheran settings in New York, Connecticut, and Tennessee, Schurman has served as organist and music director, cultivating a body of work shaped by both the concert tradition and the liturgical life of the Church. His liturgical practice is grounded in accompaniment and ensemble leadership, from work with Chorus Angelicus Gaudeamus in Connecticut to collaborations with soloists associated with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, as well as parish choirs and more intimate quartet settings. Zac is a member of the Association of Anglican Musicians and the Conference of Roman Catholic Cathedral Musicians.

Schurman holds the Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School, where he studied with Grammy Award–winning organist Paul Jacobs. He earned the Bachelor of Arts degree from Trinity College, where he studied with Christopher Houlihan and was awarded a full scholarship. At Trinity, his studies extended beyond music into Hebrew, Greek, and religion, where he received the Lova and Tania Eliav Prize for Excellence in Hebrew and the James Goodwin Prize in Advanced Greek. In 2021, he was awarded First Prize in the Hartford Chapter Quimby Competition of the American Guild of Organists. In 2022, he was named President’s Fellow in Music and received both the Helen Loveland Prize and the John Rose Organ Scholarship.

Born on Long Island, Schurman studied with Mark T. Engelhardt, and his earliest musical formation was shaped by Sister Joy Wright.
