It is with great joy that I invite you to welcome Len Langrick as our long term interim Music Director. Len will be with us for six months, through Easter, and from there further plans will emerge. Len’s first Sunday with us will be November 1, but he begins rehearsals this week with the choir. Please hold Len and our choir in your prayers as they, and we, begin this new collaboration.
A native of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Len Langrick received the Bachelor of Music degree in choral music education and organ performance from Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, and the Master of Music degree in organ performance from Indiana University. Currently he teaches music at Indian Creek School, Crownsville, and also serves as director of early childhood music for the Children’s Chorus of Maryland. Previously Len has served as director of the Handel Children’s Choir of Baltimore and as director of music and organist for congregations in Maryland, North Carolina, Indiana, and Michigan. He has served the Presbyterian Church (USA) at both the regional and national level, most notably as director of the Montreat Conferences on Worship & Music. In his spare time Len enjoys honing his accordion playing skills, particularly to accompany the folk dances of his music classes.
