Born in England, composer/organist John S. Dixon has lived in Virginia for thirty-five years. Since 1990 he has written more than 950 compositions, mostly for organ, but also for choirs and instrumental ensembles. He is the organist at Providence Presbyterian Church in Virginia Beach and serves as the executive director of the Academy of Music, a community music school based in Norfolk. Currently he holds the office of Treasurer/Councilor for Finance and Development of the American Guild of Organists. His visit to Providence is part of his project to share his music in person in all fifty states. During this concert, John will play a program of his own compositions - including arrangements of many familiar melodies - and will explain why and how the pieces were composed. John shares many of his compositions freely with organists around the world. After this concert, he will have complimentary pieces available for organists to take home.
