Our Staff

Introducing our Music Director, Lachlan Glen

Lachlan Glen was born in Sydney, Australia where his parents and two sisters reside. Lachlan grew up attending a Reformed Church where he served as the worship accompanist during his teenage years. He garnered awards for piano performance and composition in the City of Sydney Eisteddfod as well as the Australian National Eisteddfod.

After two years of studies at the University of Southern Queensland, Lachlan transferred to Rutgers University - the Mason Gross School of the Arts - in 2008 from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Music Degree with a concentration on piano performance (with Professor Min Kwon). He is now pursuing a Masters Degree in Collaborative Piano at the Juiliard School in NYC. He keeps busy providing accompaniment for soloists and choirs at different educational institutions.

In 2009 Lachlan won the 6^th Prize and Audience Choice Award at the Southern Highlands International Piano Competition. He has also participated in music festivals and performed with various orchestras in Australia, Europe and the USA, and has recently performed at Carnegie Hall and New York’s Steinway Hall. During the summer of 2011, he worked with Maestro Lorin Maazel at the Castleton Festival and during the summer of 2012 he served as part of the staff of the Chautauqua Institution in New York state.

Lachlan is comfortable playing both the organ and the piano and working with adults as well as children. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious and his commitment to the Church unquestioned. His long term aim is to attain the standard of an internationally recognized concert pianist and some day educate in piano performance. We are blessed to have Lachlan as part of our church family and give God glory for endowing him with such great gifts which now enrich the life and ministry of Six Mile Run Reformed Church. Talk to him if interested in joining one of our choirs.
