Music Ministry at Christ Congregation
|
Music Director William Karl Hedrick comes to the Tri-State area from San Antonio, Texas, where he was the Music Director for Covenant Presbyterian Church. He was born and raised in Kilgore, Texas where his involvement with First Christian Church (Disciples Of Christ) provided a strong foundation and rich heritage of sacred music. Karl received his BM and MM from Texas State University, studying composition and conducting. He was an organ scholar at the Congregational Church of New Canaan (CT). In addition to his background in church music, Karl is a composer/music director/collaborative musician who is at home in both the worlds of musical theater and opera. Favorite productions include “My Fair Lady”, “Rigoletto”, “La Boheme”, “Fantasticks”, and “Into the Woods.” When not making music, Karl enjoys hiking with his dog, Arya. |
