Hi, I’m Abby! I’ve been a sacred musician for most of my life. At age 14, I became the organist for the church where I grew up (in Vermont), and since then, I’ve served as organist, music director, choir director, and/or handbell director in many different churches. Most recently, I spent the last 13 years at Faith Lutheran Church in Andover, where I directed an adult bell choir and a children’s handchime choir (and, for 12 of those years, was also the church’s music director). I’m also the chair of the Greater Boston MA/NH region of Area 1, Handbell Musicians of America; this means that I’m in charge of putting together events like the annual MA Spring Ring, in which Bells of St. Matthew’s regularly participates. I’m excited to make music with all of you! I am also always excited to introduce new people to handbells, so if you have ever been curious about playing bells, regardless of your musical background, please let me know!
