Ken Berg graduated from Samford University with a BME and an MME in 1977 & 1981 respectively. Ken and Susan were married in the summer of 1977. They are the proud parents of Michael and David, both fine musicians in their own right. From 1977 - 2005, Ken served as Choral Director and Fine Arts Chairman at John Carroll Catholic High School. In 1978, Ken and Susan took over as Music Directors of the Birmingham Boys Choir. Susan directs the Junior Choristers and Ken accompanies her. Ken directs the Senior Choristers and Susan accompanies him. Wonderfully convenient for both!

Currently, Ken is the "Music Minister and Resident Composer" at Mountain Brook Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Susan is the Music Associate, church pianist and Children’s Choir Co-Ordinator. Again, wonderfully convenient and helpful for both! In addition to being a clinician and adjudicator, Ken is also serving currently as an officer in the Alabama ACDA. His enjoys yard work and music writing. (He is learning to enjoy ballroom dancing with Susan!)

	BLESSED IS HE (Pavane Publishing) Composer: Gerald Lindberg  Voicing: SATB  Season: Palm Sunday Released: September 1999  Listen   San Francisco organist and arranger Jerry Lindberg has produced a brilliant and energetic piece for Palm Sunday. The accompaniment is set more for piano than organ, but either could work. The rhythm and drive of the piece is what captures the spirit. The vocal parts roll off the tongue with ease. This is a great anthem for all church styles.
