New Director of Music Welcomed

Copper Hill United Methodist Church of East Granby is pleased to announce that Juliana Hall has been named as our Director of Music as of June 2025. Juli Hall began studying the piano with her mother when she was six years old and has played in churches from the Midwest to the east coast for more than 50 years, including the past 30 years in the Farmington Valley. During that time, she has been a regular at churches in Avon, Rocky Hill, Simsbury, and Waterbury and most recently served as pianist and music director of the East Granby Congregational Church.

Juli is also a well-known composer of classical art songs, having received a master’s degree in composition from the Yale School of Music and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Her music has been performed by more than 800 singers and pianists in three dozen countries on six continents, including concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Library of Congress, and abroad at St. Paul’s Cathedral and Wigmore Hall.

All will find a warm welcome at Copper Hill UMC; we are a friendly faith community serving the towns of East Granby, Granby, Suffield and Southwick, Mass. Worship is led by Pastor Jeff Cedarfield at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday in person and on Facebook Live.
