opportunities that empower the development and demonstration of their work. His
experience includes more than 12 years of proven success in grant writing and nonprofit
management. Charlie writes for hire and is an active grant writer and composer based in
SouthernMinnesota.
Charlie grew up on a small farm in Southern Minnesota, immersed in nature and the
rural church. In this way, he came to love both natural aesthetics and hymnody—these
elements color much of his unique compositional and programmatic choices. Leftridge
writes and directs music for choral and chamber ensembles, often setting to music his
original text. He received his Masters of Music from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
and serves as the Executive Director of the Carnegie Art Center and Director of Music at
Bethlehem Lutheran Church, both in Mankato, Minnesota.
