Mary H. Whelan played the organ in high school at her church, and resumed organ studies after retiring from the Wheaton College Library.  Her teacher is Dennis E. Ferguson, the Director of Music at Murray Unitarian Universalist Church.  

Richard W. Hill is now in his thirtieth year as Organist and Director of Music at Unity Church where he directs the vocal and handbell choirs and produces several annual concerts and recitals.  Past Dean of the Southeastern Massachusetts American Guild of Organists, and chair of the Organ Advisory Committee of the Boston Chapter, AGO for the last fifteen years, he specializes in organ music of the “Forgotten Generation” of composers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  He performs frequently and has been heard in three conventions of the Organ Historical Society, as well as conventions of the American Guild of Organists and the International Society of Organ Builders.  He has performed on virtually every historic organ in Southeastern Massachusetts, and many others throughout New England.

Robert W. Johnson has been a church organist and choir director, piano teacher, and choral music teacher at public and private schools since 1963, upon receiving his Master of Sacred Music degree from Union Theologial Seminary in New York City.  He recently retired as Minister of Music at The Second Church in Newton, Massachusetts after twenty years of serving that congregation.  Currently he lives in Attleboro and is an active substitute organist and choir director in area churches and continues to teach piano.
