Our next parish concert will take place on Sunday, March 22 at 3:00 PM, featuring a contemplative program of “Lenten Music for Meditation.” This special concert will present beautiful works for tenor and organ, inviting us into the reflective spirit of the Lenten season.

We are pleased to welcome guest soloist J. Matthew Moore, whose extensive background in church music spans more than three decades. Matthew began his musical journey at age 12 as pianist for his neighborhood Methodist church. After early studies in piano, organ, and voice, he went on to pursue both Organ Performance and Vocal Performance at the prestigious University of Michigan School of Music.

Over the course of his career, Matthew has served in full-time music ministries at large Methodist and Catholic parishes, produced major concerts and choral tours, and led choirs that have performed significant works with orchestras. His work extends across many traditions, having also directed choirs in Reformed and Orthodox Jewish Temples. As a tenor soloist and organist, Matthew has performed throughout Michigan, New York, New Mexico, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Matthew currently serves as Director of Music for First Presbyterian Church in Goldsboro, NC.
