Sawyer Lowe is thrilled to be joining First Presbyterian Church of Grapevine as Director of Music! For the last three years, Sawyer has served as Director of Music at United Disciples Christian Church in Richardson, TX conducting the chancel choir, handbell choir, and the praise band. He holds a Bachelors in Music Education from Texas Christian University and has sung with the Dallas Symphony Chorus, the Ken Davis Chorale, and recently served as the Adult Chorus Director for the Han Opera Vocal Art Center.

When not working, Sawyer loves to spend time with his dog Mollie. Especially if it is outside while smoking something on the BBQ.

Gia Jiha Choi

Jiha Choi, a native of Korea, began her piano studies at the age of five. Her family immigrated to the United States when she was a teenager and continued piano studies. She was awarded a full scholarship to study at the Aspen Music Festival and School during her high school junior year.

After further study at the New England Conservatory, she completed her Bachelor of Music degree at Cameron University, where she was awarded numerous honors and scholarships including the prestigious Presser Scholar Award. For her Master’s degree, she received a Teaching Fellowship from the University of North Texas College of Music, a highly competitive award which is very rarely given to a Master’s degree student. During her Master’s, she studied organ as a secondary instrument and became an organist at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Denton, TX. She recently earned her doctorate in piano performance and held Teaching Fellowship for four years from the University of North Texas.

In addition to her performances as a soloist, Choi has extensive experience collaborating with other musicians, as well as giving instruction in keyboard skills and piano classes.
