The work required by a music director at UCM at this unusual time is no longer a good fit for my passion for in-person music making. The church needs someone with the energy, motivation, and flexible skill set to address the challenging times we are now in. Now is the right time for me to end my tenure as your music director.

It has also been wonderful to work with Eliza, and to bring in guest musicians.
