About Me
Jones Peterson is a passionate Church organist and Director of Music, bringing a harmonious blend of musicality and spirituality to his role.
Growing up in India, Jones started on the Piano and the Keyboard and then the Organ. He discovered the organ as a way to enhance the worship experience in the church and to contribute meaningfully to the faith community. He works full-time as a Software professional. Music has always been his passion. This led him to acquire private training on the Organ from a few eminent Organists in Manchester, Connecticut and Memphis, Tennessee, USA. While in the USA, Jones had the opportunity to play the Organ in various denominations – Catholic, Episcopal, United Methodist, Presbyterian and Lutheran.
Jones’ repertoire includes a diverse selection of hymn-based settings for Organ and contemplative music by the great composers of the past – Bach, Mendelssohn, Guilmant, César Franck, Théodore Dubois, Handel, just to name a few and many modern-day composers and arrangers. Jones started a private choir back in India – “The Kingdom’s Singers”, a small community of volunteer singers who enjoy a time of great fellowship, fun and singing. In his absence, another gentleman helps in leading the choir. With nearly 20 years of experience as Church Organist and nearly 14 years of experience as Director of Music, Jones brings with him a wealth of experience building choirs from scratch (Adult and Youth choirs) and helping each chorister enjoy singing the Master’s praise.
