Susan and Stephen Talley were honored on April 12 by Covenant Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, for their forty years of full-time music ministry. At a retirement reception, the Susan F. and Stephen J. Talley Music Scholarship Fund was announced. Designed to help students prepare for ministry in traditional church music, the fund was established with over $45,000 in contributions.
The Talleys began their ministry at the church in 2001, which included a graded program of vocal and bell choirs; concerts featuring local, national, and international artists, supervising the renovation of the church’s 1949 Aeolian-Skinner organ, commissioning a new two-manual, 32-rank A. E. Schlueter organ in the Morrison Chapel, and the acquisition and installation of a two-manual, ten-rank Flentrop organ in the music studio. During their tenure, they made three CD recordings of the Covenant Choir, the organ, and various instruments.
