We are pleased to announce that  Kathleen Connolly has joined our staff as the Interim Director of Music and choir Organist.  Katie comes to us from All Saints' Episcopal Church in Princeton where she directed a music program very similar to the PCW program.  In addition, she has served at several other churches over her career and has taught privately for many years.

Kathleen is a versatile musician whose work is rooted in lifelong study of the keyboard. She has sung in choirs in church and school from childhood and has always worked with singers. An active collaborator, she works with voices and instrumentalists in recitals, chamber music, opera, musical theater, church, and popular genres as conductor, coach, pianist and organist.

Most recently Music Director and Organist at All Saints' (Episcopal) Church in Princeton from 2005–2010, she has served other churches of various denominations. She has been Staff Accompanist and Opera Coach at the
