The Association of Anglican Musicians (AAM) has awarded its inaugural Brittenback-Meezan Presidential Award to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Auburn, Alabama, and their choirmaster and minister of music, Matthew Hoch.
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 AAM annual conference, Hoch plans to use the award to continue his work in the certification program of the American Guild of Organists, studying organ with AAM mentor Jeannie Kienzle, principal parish musician at All Saints Episcopal Church, Mobile, Alabama.
