Catherine Massey has been in charge of our music since 1998 and accepted the position of Music Director in 2000, the first year we had a choir. She enthusiastically embarked on expanding the diversity of the congregation’s musical programming ever since. She takes pride in stating that:
Our congregation has moved from a very cautious and shy singing group to one that will enthusiastically sing anything I ask them to, from African chants to rounds and Jason Shelton’s hymns.
Catherine is not afraid to try new things nor to encourage others to do likewise, and counts as one of her strengths her willingness to learn and
do what needs to be done.
I had never conducted a choir before I started one at our church, but I did so because the need was so great – the need to have a choir sing on Sunday and the need for people to sing in a choir.
