Organist and collaborative pianist for weddings, funerals, choral accompanying, and other creative endeavors. My specialities include classical music, contemporary music, improvisation, film music adaptations, and collaborative arts. I am open to a variety of opportunities. If it's creative, let's talk!
I have hired John for many gigs now, from weddings, funerals, and private concerts. Not only is his musicianship incredible, he is easy to work with on a personal level. He will make it work. One funeral, the church organ was broken, and he rigged something together and made it sound wonderful. Highly recommend!
I’ve heard John play many times at beautifully-curated Organ recitals, many more church services, and, through this, asked him to provide the music to my grandfather’s funeral.
John is an incredible musician and collaborator! He made my family feel supported in every step of the music selection process, and kept in consistent communication with us throughout. His genuine passion for the instrument and sharing it with others makes him the perfect asset for any event!
Response from Organist:
It meant so much to be able to help you with your grandfather's service. Your kind words are appreciated!
I am a professional opera singer and John is ALWAYS the first person I ask to join me in performances. He is FANTASTIC. I love working with him. He elevates any performance he is in.
Response from Organist:
Thank you so much, Larissa! It is a joy to make music with you!
