While pursuing his studies at the university, he played for the weekly Campus Ministry Mass in the Crypt Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. He aided with organ accompaniment and composing for various University ceremonies and Masses at the Basilica including the Installation Ceremony of the university’s 16th president in the fall of 2022 (televised on EWTN), the 2021 and 2022 Mass of the Holy Spirit (EWTN), the 2023 Mass of St. Thomas Aquinas (EWTN), the 2022 Baccalaureate Mass, the university’s annual Christmas concert in 2022 at the Basilica of the National Shrine (EWTN), and the 2023 Baccalaureate Mass.
He had the opportunity to recently participate in a masterclass by Felix Hell and attend the 2023 Yale Summer Organ Week, where he was able to study privately with Martin Jean, James O’Donnell, Nathan Laube, Janette Fishell, and Jonathan Moyer. A native of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, Nathan will begin his Master of Music in Organ Performance degree with Dr. John Walker at the Peabody Conservatory in the fall semester of 2023.
