Jane Barsumian
Jane Barsumian was born into a musical family. Her father was a concert violinist, composer and conductor and her mother, a church organist who retired recently after seventy five years on the bench! While Jane received a masters degree in education in the field of counseling, all of her musical training is in the form of private study.
She has studied piano with Frank McConnell, Edgar Roberts, and recently continues with Antoinette Lind. She studied violin with Norman Black of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and in Holland with Henk Schram of the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Jane has played violin with numerous community orchestras and professionally with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra where she was privileged to play under guest conductor, Aaron Copland.
She has played violin with the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra. Jane has played piano for productions at the Rhinebeck Performing Arts Center, accompanied the Hudson Valley Youth Chorale on one of their trips to Vienna, and has been a featured performer for a concert sponsored by the AAUW in Kingston. She has been the organist for the premier of Robert Starer and Gail Godwin’s original work, "Magdalen in the Garden," for the first Woodstock Cycle in 1998, and is also the organist on the CD. She composed the music and text for the Cantata, "Healing," part of the 2002 Woodstock Cycle. Jane is the 2006 winner of the Hymn Competition, of the Eastern North Carolina Religious Arts Festival, and has written service music currently in use by St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church, Woodstock, where she is organist.
Recently, she studied composition privately with Joan Tower. Jane sings with Ars Choralis, and is a performing member of the Musical Society of Kingston.
She is secretary of the Hudson-Catskill Chapter, American Guild of Organists. A past practitioner of family and child therapy, Jane currently teaches piano and violin at her home studio south of Saugerties.
It is with gratitude that Jane remembers Dr. Herman Ash, with whom in his last years, she enjoyed weekly afternoon "musicales." It is largely due to his encouragement that she performs here today.
Jean Hattersley
Jean Hattersley has served as organist and choir director at various churches in Ulster and Dutchess Counties and performed many special music programs in these positions. She is currently co-coordinator of the Uptown Organ Recital Series and coordinator of the Fine Arts Program at Old Dutch Church in Kingston where she has been organist since 1996. She has served as accompanist for many of the performers of this series. Mrs. Hattersley studied organ for many years with Raymond Corey of Poughkeepsie.
Lynn Peck
Lynn Peck has Music Education degrees from the West Chester University (PA) and Ithaca College. She has taught Elementary music in the Onteora, Rhinebeck, and Ellenville School Districts. Lynn has performed with the Ulster County Community Band, Kingston Union Band, and Ars Choralis as well as weddings and church services. This past summer, she performed in the American Music Abroad Empire Tour throughout France, Germany, and Austria, and is now flautist with the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra.
