Director of Music
Director of Music - Laura Hare McClure
Greetings!
I am excited to join the Erindale community as Music Director.
I look forward to sharing in the joy of music with all of you. Of course, when I first joined Erindale, I did not expect my first official months as Music Director to involve church via Zoom and YouTube! It has been an interesting experience, to say the least.
My background is in both music and theology. I began studying the piano at the age of four and joined my first choir at five. I have been accompanying singers, instrumentalists, musical theatre groups, and congregations since I was twelve. I have an ARCT in Piano Performance and have studied the organ under the internationally-acclaimed organist Sarah Svendsen. I also have an M.A. in Theology from Knox College at the Toronto School of Theology and a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from the University of Toronto.
Everyone is encouraged to join in Erindale’s music ministry in whatever way you feel inspired. The choir and the band welcome all — no musical experience necessary. If you want to share your musical gifts in other ways, that’s wonderful too. Let us worship God together through music!
