About the Musicians

Faye W. D’Ippolito

Pianist, harpsichordist, organist, and performer of other Renaissance and Baroque period instruments, Faye D’Ippolito, began her classical concert-touring career when she made her debut in Steinway Hall at the age of 14. She studied music performance, theory, and history at University of North Carolina, Duke, and other universities starting at the age of 12. It was at this same age that she first soloed with the North Carolina Symphony and has performed both internationally and throughout the United States. Faye received her Commissioned Lay Pastor certification from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in 2013. She currently serves as a supply pastor.
