Dr. John Weaver, one of America’s finest concert organists, was Director of Music & Organist at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City from 1970 to 2005. He was Head of the Organ Department at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia from 1972 to 2003, and Chair of the Organ Department at The Juilliard School from 1987 to 2004. John Weaver’s undergraduate study was at The Curtis Institute of Music as a student of Dr. Alexander McCurdy. In 1959, he was appointed Director of Music at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City, a post he held for eleven years, where he founded the Bach Cantata Series at Holy Trinity and met and married his wife, Marianne. During this time he spent two years in the Army as organist/choir-director of the Post Chapel at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and earned a Master of Sacred Music degree from Union Theological Seminary, studying with Dr. Robert Baker. Further biographical information may be found at www.concertorganists.com/artists/john-weaver/. Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church rejoices in the witness to the resurrection in John Weaver’s life and now in his death. We give thanks for his ministry among us at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, and we especially remember the constant love, support, and musical partnership of his wife Marianne Weaver, as well as his entire family in whom he rejoiced and loved. Come, labor on. No time for rest, till glows the western sky, till the long shadows o’er our pathway lie, and a glad sound comes with the setting sun, ‘Well done, well done!’’’ Jane Borthwick
