Beaumont was previously director of music (1994-2002) at Ripon Cathedral in North Yorkshire, England and (1990-1994) at St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
British by birth, his family emigrated to Canada in 1970. He was director of music at the Church of the Good Samaritan in Paoli, Pennsylvania, United States for seven years (1981-1988) before returning to his native country in 1988.
His recordings, as an organist and choirmaster, are published by Priory Records, Herald AV Productions, and Cantoris Records. Having studied organ improvisation with Antoine Reboulot in Quebec, Canada, and with Pierre Cochereau in Nice, France, he has pursued an active interest in the art of improvisation in his concert career. As a member of SOCAN (the Society of Canadian Composers, Authors and Publishers) he has published several hundred recorded compositions through the programme music libraries of Omnimusic and the Parry Music Library. Of his church music there are published titles by Encore Publications and Banks Music Publications.
