     John Angotti was raised in Clarksburg, West Virginia; a small community nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Third in a family of four adopted children, John’s first ability to speak without stuttering was at the age of four when he sang the hymn “The Church’s One Foundation.”
     John began studying piano at the age of seven. His mother, who has been a church musician for more than 50 years, motivated him to become involved with church music at a very early age through the children’s choir at church.
     John has been writing Christian music since his mid-teen years at St. Joseph Seminary where he was considering entering the priesthood.
     In 1995, John signed a distribution deal with World Library Publications (WLP) in Chicago, Illinois. There he met Father Jim Marchionda, OP, a Dominican preacher who was also a composer for WLP. Father Jim invited John to be the accompanist for him at some Christian workshops at the Los Angeles Religious Education Conference. He also let John be involved in the workshops, explaining how to combine old, traditional hymns with new stylistic rhythms and give new spirit to what could be considered a “boring” hymn to a young generation. At that moment, Angotti began to see the plan unfolding.

BSM is proud to host this concert as part of our Catholic Schools Week celebration.
We hope you can join us!
