Glenn Little is a native of Washington, D.C., where he graduated from Howard University with a B.Mus. in organ performance and a minor in piano.  His organ instructors at Howard were Thomas Keith and Harvey Van Buren.  He pursued additional studies with the late Conrad Bernier of Catholic University. Following graduation, Mr. Little entered the U.S. Foreign Service, where he served for over 32 years with assignments stateside and abroad.  Since his retirement in 2000, he has served at various churches in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary areas as Director of Music Ministry/Organist.

For those who are not able to join us in person, we will be recording the concert and will post it on the church’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
