Greg has been Calvary's music director since 1996. He's an accomplished bandleader, composer/arranger and multi-instrumentalist (all saxophones, reeds, and keyboards), with a wealth of experience in music performance and education. He's the founding director of The Big Push, a 15-piece big band fusing jazz with the rhythmic influences of hip-hop beats, and an original member of Breakwater, a Philadelphia-based rhythm and blues group which has been around since 1976. Greg has composed or arranged music for church choirs, jazz enembles, concert bands, chamber groups, and symphonic orchestras. When he's not playing music, you can find him working at The Workshop School as science and technology instructor, teaching Lego robotics as a volunteer with students at Harrington Elementary School, or helping to get solar panels installed anywhere he can (including Calvary!). |
