Music Ministry
People
The people that make up the Music Ministry come from all walks of life. Some are students, some are mothers, some are engineers, and some are professional musicians. Regardless of their background, they all share a love for music and its use in glorifying the Lord our Creator.
Andrew Everson has served as Music Director at St. Joachim since 1990. Being a Military brat, Andrew was born in Japan, raised a while in France, but spent most of his childhood in Colorado Springs, CO. Andrew brings with him a background in broadcasting as well as many world music styles such as Celtic, Romani, Caribbean, African and most American styles.
Under Andrew's direction, the choir has released several CD's and several of Andrews compositions have been published by Oregon Catholic Press. More information can be found at www.andreweverson.com.
