Kenneth DyerKenneth Dyer, Jr.
The choir and our music program are presently under the direction of our Choirmaster, Mr. Kenneth Dyer Jr. Mr. Dyer is also our Organist. We are graced by his expertise in music and liturgy; Mr. Dyer holds a B.A. in Theology from St. John's University , a B.A. in Music Education from Queens College CUNY and an M.A. in Urban and Multicultural Education from the College of Mount St. Vincent.
Ken has more than 25 years experience as a church organist and musician, all of which is reflected in his creation of an Ascension Choir repertoire which reflects that group's professionalism, from Bach to spirituals and 20th century choral works. Mr. Dyer is himself a composer and arranger of music, and his own works may from time to time be heard at Ascension Church.
