organist &
carillon choir director:
Gerri Leuthi (ext. 3) |
|
 |
Born in west Texas but becoming a Coloradoan at the age of three,
Gerry claims the Denver-Boulder area as home. Her early exposure
to music came through her church, and her focus has remained there,
where hymnology, choral music, and instrumental performing all fit
together.
Handbells became an "addiction" in the early 1990's when
Gerry formed the Laudate Ringers of First Baptist Church and learned
along with them. Her husband is a ringer, and together they have
formed Flagstaff Publishing, dedicated to publishing "not your
usual" handbell music.
Gerry has served as pianist/organist at several area chuches,
including many years at First Baptist. She joined the staff at Atonement
in April 2007.
