George Dorrington Cunningham (2 October 1878 – 14 August 1948) was an English concert organist.
[1] Upon graduation he studied with Josiah Booth at Park Chapel, Crouch End, North London.
From there he enrolled in the Royal Academy of Music, where he became an FRCO at the age of eighteen and organist of the Alexandra Palace at twenty-two, in 1901.
However, during the armistice celebrations of 1918 the instrument at Alexandra Palace was wantonly wrecked, and was not restored and re-opened again until December 1929.
Cunningham's most important students were E. Power Biggs, George Thalben-Ball, who succeeded him at Birmingham in 1949, Fela Sowande, and Michael (Stockwin) Howard, Geraint Jones and Arnold Richardson.
