Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Announces New Assistant Director of Music

August 02, 2016

Mr. Jason Pennington  has been named Assistant Director of Music at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.  Mr. Pennington joins the Cathedral Staff, working with Director of Music Victoria Harden. 

Jason comes to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral directly from St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in North Little Rock where he has served as Organist-Choirmaster for the past 4 years.  In that capacity, Jason has been instrumental in a successful choir program, has established multiple concert series in the church, and has been involved with diocesan wide events.

Previous to his appointment at St. Luke’s, Jason served as organist-choirmaster of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in New Iberia, Louisiana, and has served as Organist at Our Lady of Fatima Church, Lafayette, Louisiana, and on the organ staff of the Neupfarrkirche, the Lutheran Cathedral Church in Regensburg, Germany.  He studied organ performance with D. Campbell Johnson at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and Early and Baroque organ playing with Karl-Friedrich Wagner at the Papal Church Music Conservatory in Regensburg, Germany.

Of the appointment, Jason says, “As a life-long servant of the Liturgy, I have come to know and understand well that the parochial liturgical life reflects and is modeled after the Bishop’s own liturgy in the diocesan Cathedral Church.  It is indeed a high honor for me to be called to present Cathedral Music to the Most High, and as a native of Little Rock, I am doubly blessed to have been selected to do that sacred work here at Trinity Cathedral under the marvelous direction of Victoria Harden, and with the inspired spiritual guidance of Dean Chris Keller.”
