A Celebration of Hymns

On May 18, 2024 I and many friends from Glen Mar UMC’s music ministry and beyond joined forces to present a variety of stirring arrangements of some of the church’s most beloved hymns and songs. The program included my renditions of several concert arrangements for solo piano by artists such as Mark Hayes, Joel Raney, and Joseph Martin (some of which are recorded on my CD, “A River Flowing“), along with some of my original anthems for chorus and handbells, and more!

May 18, 7 PM at Glen Mar UMC in Ellicott City, MD.

Here’s the recording of this event, and the program is below:
