Dr. Naomi Gregory, Music Director

We welcome back Dr. Naomi Gregory to our church.  Naomi holds degrees in music (B.A. Hons, first class) and musicology (M. Phil.) from the University of Cambridge, UK, where she was Organ Scholar at Sidney Sussex College.  In May 2014, Naomi was awarded the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in organ performance and literature from the Eastman School of Music, in the studio of David Higgs.  Her studies at Eastman also included organ improvisation, harpsichord, and theatre organ with William Porter, and organ repertoire and continuo realization with Edoardo Bellotti.  Naomi is currently completing a PhD in musicology at Eastman School of Music.  Naomi is currently a graduate instructor of Early Music at Eastman School of Music and project coordinator for ‘Performing History: The Italian Baroque Organ and its Cultural Intersections,’ a Humanities Project of the University of Rochester.  

Originally from England, Naomi came to Rochester in 2006 to embark on dual doctoral degrees in Organ Performance and Musicology at the Eastman School of Music.  She had previously served as music director at Penfield First Baptist Church for eight years where Naomi led the adult choir and bell choir, and established a youth bell choir program- which, to our great joy- she continues to do today. Prior to coming to the U. S., she was Head of Academic Music at the Sherborne School for Girls in Dorset, England.
