Mary is the Associate Organist at The National Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC, where she enjoys performing for Services, Weddings and Concerts on one of the finest organs in Washington, the 106-rank Æolian-Skinner pipe organ.
She studied at The University of Chicago, The Chicago Musical College, and West Virginia University where she completed a Master of Music degree majoring in both Organ and Harpsichord performance.
Mary has performed solo recitals throughout the United States and in Great Britain including the great Cathedrals of Exeter and Chester. Her most recent solo recitals have been at St. Thomas Church in New York City, The National Presbyterian Church in Washington DC, St. Lukes in McLean, Virginia and St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Park Ridge, Illinois. Mary has also been a featured soloist at Washington National Cathedral, Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church and in local festivals, including The Plains Music Festivals and St. John's Lafayette Square Music Festivals.
Mary also travels to many churches to perform her special program, "The Sights and Sounds of the Pipe Organ". This unique program is bringing her to the attention of an every-widening circle of admirers impressed by both the narrated performance and her musical artistry. Her presentation of "Sights and Sounds" for the Smithsonian Institution’s Resident Associate Program in May 2003 received rave reviews from professional musicians and lay audience members alike and led to an immediate invitation to repeat the event at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC.
Mary has played the organ and harpsichord with many local orchestras including the National Symphony Orchestra. Conductors for whom she has performed include Leonard Slatkin, Robert Shaw, and Mstislav Rostropovich. Mary appeared as an Organ Soloist in the Mozart Festival at the Kennedy Center with Christopher Hogwood in 2000.
