Janie joined the staff of St. George's in June 2020. 

Before coming to Clifton Park, Janie was a well-known San Diego-based pianist/accompanist who became known for her church organ skills. She was hired as interim organist at St. James-by-the Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla, CA, where Janie studied with Robert Plimpton and Jared Jacobsen on the 64-rank pipe organ. Her next job was at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, where she studied organ with Martin Green, canon at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral. Janie maintained an active musical life as music director/chorus mistress for Lyric Opera San Diego, as well as principal outreach accompanist and dance rehearsal pianist for San Diego Opera, and official pianist for the Metropolitan Opera Auditions. She was in demand as auditions accompanist for local theaters such as Cygnet, North County Repertory Arts, and the Old Globe.

We are thrilled and blessed to have her.
