St. Thomas’s is delighted to introduce our new musical team, choral conductor Matt Cramer and organist Noah Klein. Both will be joining us as of September 17th. Please help give them a very warm welcome, as we look forward to the continued flourishing of music in worship at St. Thomas’s!
Matthew Cramer is a conductor and bass-baritone based in New Haven, CT. He served as Interim Director of the Litchfield County Choral Union in collaboration with the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival for this past summer and is the preparatory conductor for the Yale Schola Cantorum at the Yale Institute for Sacred Music. He holds degrees from the Yale School of Music (MM, conducting) and the Hartt School (GPD, BM music composition), and is currently ABD for his doctorate in choral conducting at Northwestern University. Off the podium, Matthew is an active performer of early and contemporary music as both soloist and ensemble singer, most recently having sung with the Choir of Men and Boys at St. Thomas Fifth Avenue, the Christopher Street Collegium, the New Consort, the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and new music choir The Crossing.
Noah Klein just graduated with his Master of Music in Organ Performance from the Yale School of Music/Institute of Sacred Music studying with Martin Jean. He will continue his education at Yale this year as he pursues the MMA (Master of Musical Arts) degree with Prof. James O’Donnell. Originally from Northfield, Minnesota, Noah went to Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music for his undergrad.
