Our Musicians

My wife, Loretta, and I are proud parents of our daughter, KC, and proud grandparents of Angelo and Cecily. In addition to being a choral conductor, I’m also a lawyer, a web designer, and a hat collector.  I majored in Musicology and Voice at Boston University, studied for a number of years at the Vienna Conservatory in Austria, and received my Master’s in Choral Conducting from the New England Conservatory under Simon Carrington.  I am the Minister of Music at First Congregational Church, Holliston.

Alyssa is a singer-songwriter who recently graduated from the Berklee College of Music.

Originally an Ohio girl, after I finished my undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance and English Literature from Heidelberg University, I came to Boston to attend The Boston Conservatory for my graduate studies. I graduated with a Masters of Music with an emphasis on Musical Theatre. I have been actively singing, dancing, teaching and performing for many years, and currently teach music and movement, theatre and acro dance to children at the Wellesley Tree House and Linx. I am also equally busy keeping up with my kids and husband here in beautiful Holliston!

My husband Rob and I are Medway natives, raising two spunky young adults, Charlie and Meredith. My weekdays are filled with my other 650 children teaching general music at the Holliston elementary schools. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from University of Massachusetts Lowell, 2001, and a Master’s degree in Music Teaching from Kent State University, 2015. Outside of work, I really like to read, go for walks, snuggle with my cat, and rearrange furniture. I enjoy making people smile, and having meaningful conversations with family, friends, and colleagues.

Originally from New York, I moved to Massachusetts with my family in 2014. Music has always been an important part of my life, whether it was in the form of playing violin and piano as a child, singing at community non-profits and 9/11 memorial events around New York City, or making up songs to sing with my two young children. When I’m not chasing said children, I can be found playing video games, collecting fountain pens, or working part-time as a tax preparer.

I am incredibly blessed at home with a husband of over 25 years and three wonderful daughters, and I love supporting them all in many different ways. Our dogs, bunnies, and horses also keep me on my toes! My lifelong love of music and experience in business have combined beautifully in my role as the president of Exsultet.

A New York state native, my husband, Rich, and I have lived in MA for 25 years, 20 of them in Holliston. We have 2 almost grown-up children, Lanie and Jeffrey. The kids and I are just 3 in a long line of singers in my family. Rich enthusiastically supports us! By day, I teach vocal and general music in grades 2 through 8 at the Edith C. Baker School in Brookline. By night, I enjoy family time, reading, Zentangling, hiking, skiing, and traveling. I hold a B.S. in Music Education from Hartwick College and an M.S. in Music Education from Long Island University, C.W. Post campus.

Originally from Bristol, RI, I had the pleasure of living in Holliston, MA briefly 5 years ago which is when I first discovered Exsultet! I enjoyed multiple seasons with the group prior to my departure. After working tireless hours as a Restaurant Manager, I decided to change my career path to focus on Project Management, which has brought me back to the area. I currently work at North Hill in Needham, MA as the Facilities Coordinator with a goal to obtain the role of Project Manager in the future. I live in Providence, RI and enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my cat, Lily. I am looking forward to many seasons ahead!
