Please join us at National City Christian Church this Friday, March 13, at 12:15 p.m., for our free weekly Music at Midday concert. We are delighted to welcome the Hunter-Nothaft Duo—LeeLee Hunter and John Nothaft—to perform works for classical guitar and organ:
- Three Short Meditations (Giocoso; Gracioso; Jubiloso) – Ben Ludlow
- Three Celtic Preludes (Kelvingrove; Slane; St. Columba) – Charles Callahan
- Prelude and Fugue in A minor – J. S. Bach
- God Is Our Righteousness – Chris Deblasi
A DC area native, LeeLee Hunter began taking guitar lessons while living in Hong Kong and continued when she moved back to Washington, D.C. Dr. Hunter received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in guitar performance from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University under the guidance of Julian Gray; she received her PhD in Musicology from the University of Arizona where her research focused on nineteenth century guitar music and early twentieth century American music.
John Nothaft currently serves as Director of Music Ministries at Lewinsville Presbyterian Church in McLean, Virginia, where he works as organist and choirmaster, and created and curates their “Holy Happy Hour” concert series. John graduated with his M.M. in 2018 from the studio of David Higgs at The Eastman School of Music, and received his B.M. 2016 from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and Hutton Honors College. He is the Dean of the D.C. Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
