Norwalk, Connecticut — The Association of Anglican Musicians (AAM) is pleased to award the 2025 Raymond Glover
Grant for Episcopal Liturgical Music to Gabriel Johnston. Gabriel will use the Grant to study Choral Evensong, Anglican
chant, and liturgical improvisation with Mr. Dwight Thomas at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, St. Petersburg, Florida. This
work will culminate in a Choral Evensong at Calvary Episcopal Church, a beachfront parish currently rebuilding from
Hurricane Helene, where Gabriel is Organist and Choirmaster. The grant will further fund travel to the 2025 Cincinnati AAM
Conference as well as studies with Mr. George Nicholls at the American Cathedral in Paris on Anglican chant and liturgical
planning. These studies will coincide with Gabriel’s annual trip to Paris for scientific work in collaboration with the Institute of
Global Physics in Paris. Gabriel writes “I am deeply grateful for this grant and my colleagues’ mentorship, which will help me
delve more deeply into Anglican music traditions.”
The Raymond Glover Grant for Episcopal Liturgical Music honors one of AAM’s co-founders and is a professional
development grant of $3,500 to be given annually to an AAM member for the purpose of further developing their skills in the
area of music and its integral connection to the liturgies envisioned by The Book of Common Prayer and other liturgical
materials authorized by The Episcopal Church. The Glover Grant is an annual program of AAM for which tax-deductible contributions may be made at: www.anglicanmusicians.org/glover
