New Permanent Pastor Soon!

John Harmon

Choir Director

John Harmon was born in 1935 in Oshkosh, WI. He began playing piano at a young age with his mother, who played mostly by ear. She taught him the basics, and the tow harmonized tunes together. His exposure to Jazz came early too, thanks in part to his father's extensive collection of Jazz records, which included recordings of greats like Duke Ellington, Teddy Wilson, and Art Tatum. John graduated from Lawrence University in 1957 with a degree in Music Composition. A widely commissioned composer, John has written music for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. "The Orchestra" of Los Angeles, The Fox Valley Symphony, and The Santa Fe Chamber Orchestra. His music contains elements of Jazz, as well as Americana and Native American influences. Many Sundays you can experience songs that John has arranged. First Presbyterian Church is very lucky to have such an accomplished musician lead us. 

Linda (Traf) Harmon

Organist

Linda Harmon is our weekly Organist for Worship Services and she assists John in leading the Choir. Linda Harmon is a ragtime piano player who worked as an elementary school librarian before she retired. Linda lives around music because she is married to a composer and she has two children who are musicians. She has a great sense of humor and a warm presence.
