Nick Palmer, organ
I make my living as a professional musician residing in Grand Rapids, Michigan working as a composer and arranger, choral conductor, organist and pianist. My primary work has been done in the context of liturgy, playing instruments, running choral programs, and writing music for liturgical use. In addition to these, I bring to my work significant skills in written and oral communication and in the use of computer applications for composition, audio recording and editing, organizational administration, and basic graphic design.
I bring my work at St. John's Episcopal, the Grand Rapids Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, and Mystical Voices (a wonderful small ensemble of highly skilled singers and musicians), along with other ensembles and performers I am privileged to play for. My lifelong work with the Roman Catholic church, culminating in a wonderful eight years with the Paulist Fathers at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, formed my liturgical sensibilities and guided me to produce a number of short works for choir and a variety of instrumental ensembles.
