Andrew H. Yeargin has been appointed director of music and organist of the Church of the Holy Trinity (Roman Catholic), New York City, where he oversees the professional Schola Cantorum and the 1997 Opus 53 Létourneau organ, in a space that is one of North America’s few examples of Byzantine architecture. He previously served for six years as organist and choirmaster at Christ Church (Episcopal), Manhasset, New York, and prior to that was organ scholar at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York City.
A candidate for the DMA degree in organ at the Manhattan School of Music, where he received his MM under the tutelage of McNeil Robinson, Yeargin completed undergraduate studies at Westminster Choir College, where he was a student of Matthew Lewis and Diane Meredith Belcher. He won first prize at the 2007 AGO/Quimby Regional Competition for Young Organists and performed at the 2008 National Convention in Minneapolis.
