Gage Purdy

Music Director (2020 - present)

I believe that music is a way by which to unite people in the human experience of being close and harmonious with one another; that music fundamentally shapes the mind and changes the heart to be more joyful, more passionate, and perhaps a little better equipped to find light in our world.

Gage was born and raised in beautiful Sonoma County, and he is thrilled to be a part of the thriving and vibrant musical community in Northern California. He has sung in many groups throughout Sonoma County, and he is fortunate enough to be the director of a number choirs throughout the region (California Redwood Chorale, Occidental Community Choir, Manzanita Harmony, and UUCSR)! Gage also serves as the CEO local non-profit, NorCal Vocal Arts Community.
