Music Director: Casey Hannan

Casey Hannan has dedicated much of his life to learning and teaching music and technology, earning master’s degrees in piano performance and statistics along the way. His latest endeavor is building a Hauptwerk Virtual Organ at Church of Our Saviour, merging his software skills with his love for organ playing. He is especially grateful to be part of a church community that not only has substantial technical expertise and encourages liturgical and musical experimentation but also places a strong emphasis on addressing justice issues.
