Red Door Community Concert: David Castillo

Concert #6 – June 10, 2022 – 12:15pm
at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Oxford

The final concert this season features David Castillo, Mexican-born conductor and organist, on the church’s magnificent Nordlie Opus 27 tracker organ. David was the organist at Holy T when the organ was acquired in 2017. In fact, he went to its original home in Kansas to evaluate it. He thought it was a perfect fit for Holy Trinity, with a wonderful soft, full sound. At that time he was also a full time law student at Northwestern University in Chicago and commuted to Oxford to play the organ on weekends!

Before the organ was installed at Holy Trinity, David had graduated from law school and moved to Cincinnati for his first legal position. He also moved to a new job as Music Director at St. Catharine of Siena Church where he has now been for six years. There he conducts the choir and the instrumental ensemble, while also overseeing the Siena Music Series and providing organ music for services and recitals.

David holds both a PhD in Choral Conducting and a Doctor of Law degree from Northwestern. He is passionate about music and the law and finds the two work well together. His concert will feature an exciting mix of Mexican, traditional and improvisational music.
