Calling All Early Career Musicians!

The Paul Lindsley Thomas Society benefits trained musicians who want to further their understanding of church music.  Membership is by application asking respondents to react to the document “Aspiring to the Ideals of Paul Lindsley Thomas” as they view their own calling as church musicians.  Dr. Thomas was a deeply committed church musician, composer, and organist/choir director who served St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church in Dallas, TX for decades.

Accepted applicants will enjoy monthly online meetings with other early career church musicians to share and learn about church music, admission to online and in-person CMI events, and complimentary CMI membership to access the 50,000 title choral and organ libraries.
