Jonathan B. Hall, Musician and Writer

As of November 1, I become the Director of Music Ministries of Saint John’s Lutheran Church (ELCA), Middletown, New York.

I have more about it on my blog, Pipes in the Belfry.

Middletown is not far from Goshen, where I worked from 2016 until, abruptly, the summer of 2025. As recently as Pentecost–June 8–my plan was “smooth sailing” at First Presbyterian.

Life–actually, the Lord of life–had other plans for me, in order to purify me and also set me free for something better. As a good Lutheran once wrote, and J. S. Bach set to music, Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit!

Note–I plan to integrate my blog into this site, but that will be in the future, so stay up-to-date on Pipes in the Belfry (link above).

This is Jonathan B. Hall’s website, jonathanbhall.com, established December 4, 2001 in a dusty basement office on the Upper East Side and now coming to you from upstate New York.

As of today, September 5, 2025, I am breaking free from my old web host of almost 25 years.

For now, visit my blog, Pipes in the Belfry. I am currently using that regularly. As time goes on I will be integrating the two sites.

Write to me at my old email address, jonathan@jonathanbhall.com.

If you are interested in the weekly organ recital series, that series has concluded for the remainder of 2025 and through the start of 2026. Further information will be posted here as it develops.
