Born in England in 1957, John Dixon learned to play the pipe organ and started composing music while at high school. He moved to Virginia in 1988 and became organist at his church ten years later. Having composed seriously since 1990, John now has more than a thousand works to his credit, for organ, choir and orchestral ensembles, from which the pieces on today’s program have been selected.
If you are unable to join us in person, you may view a livestream on our YouTube channel (Friends of National City Christian Church) or on our Facebook page (National City Christian Church). You may also view a recording afterwards at those same sites.
