Organist David Kevin Lamb is a graduate of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music where he was an associate instructor in choral conducting, serving as the Assistant Conductor of the IU Singing Hoosiers, and the Associate Conductor of the IU All-Campus Choruses.

Dr. Lamb is the Director of Music for Trinity Church in New Albany, Indiana, and he has presented guest organ concerts in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C. Concert engagements in Europe have included presentations in Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy.

Dr. Lamb's professional experiences include work in the realms of concert organist, choral director, church organist, chorister, solo singer, voice teacher, pit player, music administrator, public school teacher, college instructor, workshop leader, clinician, and recording artist. As a volunteer on the Jacobs School of Music Alumni Board at Indiana University, David Lamb was the founder and the first president of the Indiana Organists United, an alumni affiliate of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music Alumni Association. He continues to serve on the IOU Alumni Board with the title of Honorary Founding President.

As an active member of the American Guild of Organists, Dr. Lamb has served in leadership positions in both the Louisville and Southern Indiana Chapters and, following a successful term as the Councillor for the Great Lakes Region (Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois & Michigan), he was elected to three consecutive terms on the AGO National Council as the Councillor for Membership.

Baritone James Allen Williams recently completed his first year of study as a choral music education major in the music department of Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana, where voice is his performance emphasis, studying with Dr. Mark Carlisle. A member of the Indiana State University Chorale, James was also selected for membership in the “elite” Sycamore Singers, an auditioned “specialty” ensemble under the direction of Dr. Scott Bucannon.

James’ love for classical singing, both solo and choral, is only slightly eclipsed by his love for musical theater. He has shared his talents as a soloist and chorister in several southern Indiana churches. James has a love for choral singing that fills his soul and his passion to share by singing in choirs is welcomed. His singing of solos in various styles in several local churches, has provided opportunities to share his vocal talents throughout the community.

In the area of musical theater, James has appeared in several community theater productions, including Zombie Prom, The Addams Family, and Into the Woods, where he played the leading role of Jack (of Beanstalk fame)!

Prior to beginning his music degree, James was a voice student of David K. Lamb, where he performed vocal solos in community presentations including in “Musicals that Sing”, a 2022 presentation of the Hedden Music Club of New Albany, Indiana. While in high school, James was selected by audition for the Indiana All-State Honors Choir for two years, and he was honored numerous times with Gold medals for both solos and ensemble presentations at festivals sponsored by the Indiana School Music Association.
