St. Vincent de Paul welcomes new accompanist Sylvia Lorraine Hartman joined the music staff at the Presbyterian Church of the Siuslaw last October as choir accompanist, church pianist and organist. Hartman also delights the congregation with her talent on the harp. In addition, she also joined the church’s bell choir, which plays for the worship service on the second Sunday of each month. “Sylvia continues a long tra- dition of very good church musicians in our congrega- tion,” said Rev. Greg Wood, pastor of the church. “We are excited by the depth and breadth of her experience and enthusiasm.” Hartman and her husband recently moved to Florence from the San Diego suburb of Alpine, Calif., where she was the choral director and organist at Christ the King Episcopal Church in Alpine. “I’m really enjoying the friendly openness of the people here. It reminds me of the small town where I grew up, and I’m loving my new job,” Hartman said. A versatile performer, Hartman began piano lessons at age 5, later adding clarinet, oboe, string bass, harp and organ to her repertoire of skills. Always a singer with her family choir, she became a church organist at age 12. At age 16, Hartman won first place, piano division, in the Young Artist Competition of the Minnesota Music Teachers Association and won a Dimitri Metropoulos Scholarship to Stevens College in Joplin, Mo. Hartman delighted audi- ences in the San Diego area for years with her unique brand of piano bar entertainment as well as her acting roles such as the witch in “Into the Woods,” Dolly in “Hello, Dolly” and Bloody Mary in “South Pacific.” She has been featured soloist on piano, harp and voice with the Tifereth Israel Orchestra, S PIRITUALI -T EA This Monday evening, Nov 27, at 6:30 p.m., the communi- ty is invited to join a group of people with diverse spiritual thoughts and paths to discuss opposing thoughts of war.
