I have served as Redeemer’s Interim Music Director since summer of 2021 and joined the team in 2023. I am a native Minnesotan where my family attended the old “ALC” church. I studied at St. Olaf College for my undergrad years and have degrees in sacred music and organ performance from Yale University. I moved to Connecticut for a church position and stayed many years. While in CT, I studied at Yale University’s School of Music.

I have directed and played in several denominations during my career: Lutheran, Episcopal, and United Church of Christ (UCC). I have also played/directed in the Reform Jewish congregations and am presently accompanying at Temple Israel in Minneapolis.

The Redeemer adult choir (RLC Chorale) resumed singing and rehearsing in September 2022. We welcome all adult singers of any ability. The ability to read music is helpful, but not required. We rehearse four times before each “singing date” (about twice a month on Sundays). If you would like to consider being part of our “merry band of music makers,” please leave a message for me in the church office or click below to send me an email.
