Special to the Daily AVON, Colorado — Eagle River Presbyterian Church (ERPC) is delighted to announce the appointment of Don Watson, longtime valley musician, as Minister of Music. After more than three decades of making joyful noises from East Vail to Gypsum during a global career that crisscrosses the globe from Sydney to Budapest, Watson is excited to expand his repertoire into church music. “It’s not only about the beautiful old hymns that still have a preeminent place in our worship service, but in finding ways to incorporate songs that people don’t think of as particularly religious, and using them to reflect God’s character,” Watson says. “Then there’s the opportunity to lead the only church choir in the valley, with the added bonus of doing so in my home church. Working with our singers is a joy, a natural extension of the chorales and choruses I’ve directed in musical theater and opera.”
