The Reverend Tony Surman was inducted as Vicar of St Mark’s, Remuera, in February 2018. Tony comes to us from the Parish of Sandringham, where he was Vicar, prior to which he was Precentor at Auckland’s Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. He was ordained priest in 2009 and in 2015 was awarded a PhD in Theology from the University of Auckland via a thesis entitled ‘Ministry, Order and Ordination: continuity and change in ordained ministry in the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.’ He has a background in science and technology, and an abiding fascination with God as revealed by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Brian has been involved with music from an early age. He was taught piano by his mother, and joined his first church choir as a teenager. He then sang with the Te Atatu (now Waitakere) Men's Choir, filling the role of acting conductor for several months, before joining Auckland Choral, Auckland's only symphonic choir. During his 30 years with Auckland Choral, Brian served as a committee member for 11 years and co-deputy conductor for five. He was a co-founder of the West Auckland Combined Churches Choir.
Brian is a skilled composer, having written several psalm settings, a number of short sacred pieces and two major choral works. He has also arranged music for choir and congregation.
Brian became Director of Music at Saint Mark's in May 2011.
