The Association of Anglican Musicians (AAM) has awarded its 2025 Raymond Glover Grant for Episcopal Liturgical Music to Gabriel Johnston.
Johnston will use the grant to study choral Evensong, Anglican chant, and liturgical improvisation with Dwight Thomas at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, St. Petersburg, Florida. This work will culminate in a choral Evensong at Calvary Episcopal Church, a beachfront parish currently rebuilding from Hurricane Helene, where Johnston is organist and choirmaster. The grant will further fund travel to the 2025 Cincinnati AAM conference as well as studies with George Nicholls at the American Cathedral in Paris on Anglican chant and liturgical planning. These studies will coincide with Johnston’s annual trip to Paris for scientific work in collaboration with the Institute of Global Physics in Paris.
The Glover Grant honors one of AAM’s co-founders and is an annual professional development award of $3,500 to be given annually to an AAM member for the purpose of further developing their skills in the area of music and its integral connection to the liturgies envisioned by The Book of Common Prayer and other liturgical materials authorized by the Episcopal Church.
