Performers

Alexandria Choral Society -- A well-regarded chorus in Northern Virginia, ACS was commissioning composers and winning adventuresome programming awards before most other groups in the, D.C. area.   I sang with this group for several years, meeting many friends and performers.   Its directors I've worked include Kerry Krebill, Keith Reas, Philip Cave and Neil Weston.

St. Monica & St. James Episcopal Church -- A welcoming community on Washington's Capitol Hill, this Anglo-Catholic parish offers high mass with excellent chant and music.  Longtime Music Director Dan Elmer programmed "Light of the Minds that Know Him" in June 1997 and invited me to attend.   Now I sing there, we perform my pieces regularly and they commissioned "From Heaven There Came A Sound" in 2009.

Musikanten -- An adventuresome chamber choir, active in Maryland and Montana, which has performed my work and given me friendships, including Music Director Kerry Krebill.   At the 2008 Helena Choral Week I was composer-in-residence.   Musikanten won plaudits for its CD of Robert Evett's sacred music.   Its 2009 Baltic tour included "Dona Nobis Pacem."

St. Luke Catholic Church -- A vibrant music program in McLean, VA, where Music Director Paul Skevington makes great use of the fine organ and acoustics.   These feature in many recordings, also ones on this site.

King's Chapel -- Boston, MA has one of America's most venerable churches, with a distinguished tradition of old and new in its worship.   Music Director Heinrich Christensen chose "This Is The Day" for Easter 2009 and commissioned "Aromimcha Adonia Ki Dilitani" for a 2010 concert.

Reading Choral Society -- Reading, Pennsylvania, boasts one of the first community choral societies in America.   Its distinguised tradition continues with Music Director Peter Hopkins.   They performed "There's A Wideness in God's Mercy" in the 2009-10 season.   I was doubly thrilled, since Reading is my home town!

St. Peter's Cathedral -- The Episcopal cathedral in Helena, MT, where Kerry Krebill is Music Director.   Its choir has performed my Shaker settings among other pieces.   "Holy, Holy, Holy Is The Lord God of Hosts" got its second performance here.

Old Trinity -- A historic Lutheran church in Reading, PA, with a strong musical and theological traditions.   Dr. Raendel Wolfe is Music Director and his predecessor Donald Hinkle was one of my main teachers.
