Wesley Hall
Organist and Music Influencer
Recognized in 2016 by the Diapason Magazine as a “20 Under 30” leader in Organ, Harpsichord, and Sacred Music in the United States, Wesley Hall is a dynamic organist and early musician with a passion for translating the music of the past into the context of today’s audience. Wesley blended his passion for music and liturgy at the Yale School of Music and Institute of Sacred Music, going on to receive an Artist Diploma in Organ Performance from the Oberlin Conservatory. His passion for early music took him to Lübeck in 2020 where he spent the year as a Gasthörer with Arvid Gast, learning from the exquisite instruments of Northern Germany. As both a solo artist and collaborator, his performances have been heard across the United States, Canada, and Europe. On TikTok, he is known as "Westpiper" where he has over 200,000 followers. His videos have received millions of views, and he looks forward to bringing organ music to even more people who haven't yet experienced it. Presently, Wesley serves as Minister of Music and the Arts at the First Baptist Church of Worcester, Massachusetts, and as Organist for the Saint Mark's School in Southborough, Massachusetts. He is an Academic Collaborator at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where he teaches organ and collaborates with vocal ensembles.
