We are very excited to welcome Rees Taylor Roberts to the music staff of St. Paul’s where he’ll be serving as Assistant Organist. Rees holds degrees from Indiana University and Arizona State University, where he studied organ with Kimberly Marshall, Jeannette Fishell, and Jeffrey Smith, and piano with Baruch Meir.
While a student at Indiana, Roberts sang in the school’s new-music ensemble, NOTUS, under the direction of Dominick DiOrio, where he premiered over two dozen works as a singer and accompanist. He can be heard on the discs What is Ours: Music for an America in Progress, and Sa Ináng Báyan: To the Motherland.
He has worked as a staff organist at the Chautauqua Institution, organ scholar at Church of the Advent (Boston), Saint Paul’s K Street (DC), and numerous RSCM summer training programs. He has performed at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and across the continental US. When not at St. Paul’s, Rees works as the Development Manager for Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra.
