Organist Position – part time

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

25 East Walnut Street

Oxford, Ohio 45056

 

Holy Trinity is a 250 member church located a block from Miami University in uptown Oxford, Ohio. Holy Trinity seeks to be a welcoming congregation offering spiritual sanctuary to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, or socio-economic class; and to all persons who have felt marginalized in any way. We recognize each individual as a unique child of God. Music plays a significant role in the worship life of the church. We are especially grateful for our 20-25 member volunteer choir under the leadership of William Bausano, Professor of Music at Miami University. The organ is a two-manual, thirteen-rank Wicks instrument that was built in the early 1950's when the church was built. Modifications include a solid-state electrical system, a slightly altered stop-list, and a 16' Trompette added to the Pedal. There are four general pistons and four pistons for each of the three divisions. There is also a 1913 Steinway-A piano in the chancel.
