Hi. My name is Chris Prestia. I am a very serious musician.
I play cello, piano, organ, bassoon, and flute. I currently serve the Lord as organist and choirmaster at the Episcopal
Church of the Good Shepherd and St. John the Evangelist. I hope to someday be the organist and choirmaster of a
church professionally. I am also a bit of a composer. You can hear and download some of my compositions and
