We are very please to announce
that Anthony Ho is our new
musician at St. John’s and St.
Luke’s!
Here he is, in his own words:
My name is Anthony Ho, and I was
born and raised in San Jose,
California. I began playing piano at
the age of six and studied privately
throughout my childhood and early
teenage years. My journey as a
church musician began in 2011
when I started playing during Mass
alongside my older brother,
learning the art of accompaniment
through shared ministry and experience.
I earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of California,
Santa Cruz, and have served as a pianist in Catholic churches throughout
the Bay Area for over a decade. During that time, I have accompanied
congregations, choirs, and soloists at various parishes in San Jose and
Fremont. I also served for two years as a pianist at St. Philip the Apostle
Episcopal Church in Scotts Valley under the leadership of Rev. Katherine
Doar. In addition to piano and organ, I also play a bit of bass guitar.
I enjoy a wide range of musical styles, including classical, sacred, and
contemporary worship music. What I value most about accompanying is
the opportunity to support others through music. Whether working with a
congregation, choir, or soloist, I appreciate the sense of connection that
develops when musicians and worshippers move together with a shared
purpose—it often feels like breathing together.Church music has always held a special place in my life because it allows
me to unite my passion for music with my faith. I am grateful for the
opportunity to serve as a pianist and organist and look forward to helping
lead worship through music. Outside of church, I enjoy spending time with
family and friends, playing video games, and volunteering in the
community.”
