The 2024 Old West Organ Society Summer Series commences with a performance by Cathy Meyer. Admission is free; donations are gratefully accepted in support of the Society.
Cathy Meyer is originally from Seattle, where she was raised in a very musical family; by the time she was 16, not only did she have her first church music position but also played trumpet in a professional big band. She earned her Bachelors of Music in Organ Performance from the University of North Texas and Masters of Sacred Music from Boston University. She is the Minister of Music and organist for South Church (UCC) in Andover, Massachusetts, where she directs a large music ministry of choral and instrumental music.
Cathy is an active recitalist, and has recently performed organ and piano recitals on both coasts, including at the Trinity Church in Copley Square, St. Alban’s in Cape Elizabeth Maine, First Night Boston at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, and was featured on the nationally-syndicated Pipedreams radio show. Cathy sings alto with the New Hampshire-based choir Capella Nova Mundi. She is also a fully certified teacher in the Orff-Schulwerk pedagogy for children.
Cathy is the Dean for the Boston Chapter of the American Guild of Organists and is heavily involved in their Young Organist Initiative, and also maintains a private organ studio. In her free time, she is an Acutonics and Sound Healing practitioner, and a Reiki Master of Masters.
