Music Staff
In addition to our Director of Music, Glenn Miller, the Kirk features a talented music staff that assists in various important aspects of our worship:
Dennis Curry - Associate Director of Music, Associate Organist and Carillonneur
Dennis was named Associate Director of Music on April 1, 2011, and has served as Associate Organist and Carillonneur at the Kirk since 1989. His carillon studies began with Dr. Frederick Marriott, longtime beloved Kirk Carillonneur. He advanced to Carillonneur member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA) in 1989. President of the GCNA for several years, Dennis now serves as Vice President. He has also served on the Board of Directors and as juror on the Guild's Student Examination Committee. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the World Carillon Federation (WCF), serving as its Vice President. In 2001 with the support of the Kirk, he hosted the 59th Congress of the GCNA, which honored the centennials of Percival Price and Frederick Marriott. He supervised the formation of the Marriott Memorial Library and the complete renovation of the Kirk carillon – the world's largest (77 bells).
In June, he will host WCF's World Congress, celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the GCNA – which should be the largest gathering of carillonneurs in history!
A carillon recitalist in the USA, Europe and Asia, Dennis has also performed in several prestigious international carillon festivals – Springfield (2002) and Historic Bok Sanctuary (2003), and Løgumkloster (2007). His other musical endeavors have included Section Leader for the Detroit Symphony Chorale & Chorus, President of the Kenneth Jewell Chorale, and appearances as organist and vocalist at area churches and synagogues.
