First prizewinner of the National Flute Association’s Chamber Music Competition and winner of the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Award, Megan Meisenbach has toured internationally and in 26 states as a soloist and chamber musician. The New York Times hailed her flute playing as "assured, forthright, with a clear appealing flute tone; Megan Meisenbach's interpretations had an air of authority and invariably commanded respect.” (http://www.harpfluteduo.com ).
Stephanie Prewitt’s performances have ranged from the medieval to modern works and her honors include an Austin Critics Table Award. She has sung both internationally and in the United States. Locally, Ms Prewitt has been active as a soloist with such groups as the Texas Early Music Project, La Follia-Austin Baroque, the Victoria Bach Festival, and New Texas Music Works. The American Statesman’s Michael Huebner wrote:
“ Singular kudos go to mezzo-soprano Stephanie Prewitt, whose elocution and bell-like clarity fit gracefully into the Baroque aesthetic…and whose heartfelt expression...left you wanting more.” (http://stephanieprewitt.com )
Gregory Eaton is the Choirmaster and Organist at All Saints’ and conducts the two choirs, hand bell choir and plays organ. He was Director of Music and Organist of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights from 1993 to 2014 where he played weekly recitals with more than 600 works from more than five centuries of organ repertoire.
