The Association of Anglican Musicians (AAM) announces its 2024 Brittenback-Meezan Presidential Award to Grace Church in the Mountains, Waynesville, North Carolina, and its music director, Sean Coughlin. Intended as a resource for small- and mid-sized congregations in the Episcopal Church, the award is an annual grant that demonstrates the value of continuing education as a means of enlivening worship and deepening Christian understanding through music.
In addition to attending the annual conference of AAM in Minnesota in June, Coughlin plans to use the award to take organ lessons to develop greater facility with the breadth of the instrument as well as increase his familiarity with the Anglican musical tradition and Episcopal liturgy. This award is made possible by W. Michael Brittenback in honor of his late husband, Bill Meezan.
