JONATHAN WILLIAM MOYER has been described by the Baltimore Sun as “ever-expressive” and a “superb organist.” Sought after as a pianist, organist and conductor, his schedule is filled with solo and collaborative performances. He is organist and choirmaster of Epiphany Episcopal Church in Timonium, MD, and is a teacher at the Baltimore School for the Arts. He has performed throughout the north eastern United States as well as England, Germany, Austria, Italy, and the Czech Republic. He has performed with such ensembles as Concert Artists of Baltimore, the Handel Choir of Baltimore, the Masterworks Chorale, and the Cantate Chamber Singers of Washington DC. Throughout 2008 he is scheduled to perform the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore, celebrating the centenary of the composer’s birth and the renovation of the cathedral’s organ. Mr. Moyer is completing a doctorate in organ as a student of Donald Sutherland at the Peabody Conservatory, where he completed both a graduate performance diploma in organ and a master’s degree in piano as a student of Ann Schein. He holds a bachelor of music degree in piano from Bob Jones University. He has attended organ festivals in England, Germany and Switzerland, and has studied organ privately with Susan Landale in Paris. In 2005 he was one of four finalists in the St. Albans International Organ Competition. He is currently the subdean of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
