Joseph Peeples, who earned a master’s degree in organ performance from Brigham Young University, is the newest organist for the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, the church announced Friday.
Organists are key members of the Tabernacle Choir’s musical staff and are known for their high level of skills, the church said. They bring the sound of the iconic Tabernacle and Conference Center organs alive for audiences from around the world.
Peeples previously served as the university organist at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where he taught courses in applied organ, keyboard harmony and music appreciation.
