Welcome New Bell Choir Director, Samantha Funk!
Samantha Funk is new to the FCC community and joins us as the new director of our hand-bell choir The Tall Spire Ringers. Samantha completed dual Bachelor degrees in Music Education and Visual Arts Education at Castleton State College in 2011. She began her journey of teaching with Neil and Julie Freebern at Burr and Burton Academy and has loved the Manchester community and the spirit of our town. After completing an internship with BBA, Samantha began teaching at Lothrop Elementary and continues to work at Burr and Burton as an adjunct teacher in the Music Department. Bell ringing is an exciting art form for all and our new director is eager to continue to share such a beautiful experience with our congregation. Being the young enthusiastic person she is, she looks forward to directing a group of all ages and skill levels. Her inviting nature and passion for the arts encourage all of us to find an artistic voice through music.
