David Osburn
David’s parents were married by St. Paul’s Rector Ted Evans in 1940. He was baptized here in 1943. His mother Ruth was Parish Secretary at St Christopher’s by-the-river in Gates Mills and ran the nursery school there for 30 years. David played the 8-bell chime there before it became a 23-bell carillon. He studied organ at St. Paul’s with Walter Blodgett, later with Marilyn Mason at University of Michigan where he also studied carillon with Percival Price. David has been carillonneur at St. Pauls since 1990 and by day he is a private piano teacher. He is a member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA).
