TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – Weston Jennings is an accomplished organist, conductor and harpsichordist who has performed across the United States and Europe — including some of the world’s most historic cathedrals.
But his journey into music wasn’t always about the organ.
He first picked up the piano at just five years old, and it wasn’t until he was 16 that he discovered the pipe organ at a summer arts camp in Michigan. That moment would eventually take him from Eastman School of Music, to Yale, to England — where he served as an organ scholar at places including Canterbury Cathedral and London’s Royal Festival Hall.
Today, he’s right here in East Texas, serving as Director of Music and Organist at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler, teaching at Stephen F. Austin State University and leading New Texas Sinfonia.
