About Garrett

Garrett John Law is a Los Angeles-based organist, choral conductor, and composer whose work is shaped by a deep love of Anglican liturgy, sacred choral music, and historical performance practice. He currently serves as Director of Music at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Covina, California, where he oversees a vibrant music program rooted in tradition and excellence.

Garrett holds both a Bachelor and Master of Music in Organ Performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with Todd Wilson. As an undergraduate, he pursued a dual major in Music Theory, completing an honors thesis on Maurice Durufle's Requiem with a focus on the influence of French Latin pronunciation and the unique rhythmic style of French plainchant as shaped by the Solesmes school. His academic interests continue to inform his approach to performance and liturgy.

He also completed a Graduate Certificate in Historical Performance at Case Western Reserve University, where he specialized in continuo playing and performed regularly on harpsichord and chamber organ with the university's baroque orchestra.

Garrett's church music appointments have included St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Akron, St. James Anglican Church in Cleveland, and St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Charlotte, where he also served as Assistant Director of the Charlotte Choir School. His work has taken him on choir residencies to Ely Cathedral (2014) and Durham Cathedral (2019), and he remains active as a recitalist and liturgical musician.

As a composer, Garrett has written a growing collection of works for the church, including hymn descants, choral anthems, liturgical settings, and solo organ works. He also recently completed a song cycle based on six short poems, exploring text setting and intimacy of expression for voice and piano.

Garrett's work brings together a love of tradition with a creative spirit, aiming to serve both the spiritual life of the church and the expressive power of music.
