Joseph Marchio returns to Lifetime Learning to teach this four-part course on the various kinds of American worship music. Music is an important part of worship. Joe will share various music traditions that fill our places of worship in America: traditional worship music, gospel music, spirituals and how they evolved, Mennonite church music, and more. Our American worship music is as varied as our complex immigrant roots and displays the richness of those roots. Many American spiritual traditions spill over into classical and other forms of music including jazz, gospel, blues, rhythm & blues, country, rock & roll, and hip-hop.

Joseph is the Assistant Conductor and Music Director for the Cape Symphony, as well as an organist for the Chatham Chorale.
