Abby Carter holds a Bachelor of Music in Church Music from St. Olaf College, and is currently working on her Masters of Music in Conducting at the University of Minnesota. Abby has been engaging in church music for her whole life, beginning by playing in her mother’s children’s chimes choir when she was five. She believes that music not only enhances the worship experience, but also creates a deep sense of comfort, community, belonging, and understanding throughout a congregation. Outside of work, Abby loves singing Bach arias, working on her piano and organ skills, playing board games with her friends and family, exploring the outdoors, and reading a book with a cup of tea!
