Music Staff & Volunteers

Choral Director, organist and collaborative pianist Virginia Bolena enjoys the many dimensions of her full-time work as a church At Trinity, where she has served as Director of Music since 2013. She directs the Trinity Chorister Program of four choirs. Under her direction, the Senior Choristers (middle and high school choristers) have recently sung several concerts, collaborating with professional musicians to perform Rutter’s Mass of the Children, Dancing Day and Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. In July 2024, Senior Choristers joined the Adult Choir for a weeklong residencyat Wells Cathedral, UK, a first for the younger choristers. One of Virginia’s many joys as a choral director is challenging young choristers to reach beyond their comfort zones to learn music beyond what they believe they are capable of performing. 

Outside of Trinity, Virginia enjoys performing with other musicians, including at the Staunton Music Festival. She has performed for the Organ Historical Society, played organ recitals in such notable venues as Saint Thomas Church, New York City, Oxford Town Hall, United Kingdom and Interlochen Center for the Arts, Michigan. Virginia completed graduate work at East Carolina University, studying organ with Janette Fishell and choral conducting with Dan Bara. To balance her full life as a musician, she enjoys running, the outdoors, reading and spending time with her boys.

Louise Temple-Rosebrook studied music and science at several institutions, obtaining a BS, an MS, and a PhD in microbiology and biochemistry. She has a Service Playing Certificate from the American Guild of Organists, of which she is a longtime member. Louise and husband Fritz have been at Trinity for 15 years, during which time she has assisted the music directors as primary accompanist and served as interim organist during two periods. When she isn’t playing the organ, Louise serves as a professor in the Department of Integrated Science and Technology, James Madison University, where she most enjoys doing microbiology research with undergraduate students.

Constance Harrington loves teaching babies and young children in Musikgarten classes and working with our choristers in the Chorister Program. Before opening her Musikgarten studio at Trinity Church, Constance taught kindergarten for fourteen years and art for eight years in Augusta County. She has a BA in art education and English from Jacksonville State University and an MA in art education from the University of Alabama. She has taught art at both elementary and high school levels.

Kristin Reichert has a BS in environmental science from the University of Mary Washington. She has worked with children and teens in various capacities, including as an organizer of youth activities and camps as a Peace Corps Volunteer, as a counselor at a year-round school camp, as a teacher at Stuart Hall School in Staunton, VA, and most recently as housemother at the St. Thomas Choir School Girl Chorister Course. Kristin fell in love with choral singing when she joined the Trinity Youth Choir as a high school student, and she has enjoyed singing in the Trinity Choir since graduating from college. She has taken great pleasure in bringing a similar experience to Trinity’s current group of young singers through her work with the Preparatory Choir and Senior Choristers, and she finds it exciting to see and hear them respond with enthusiasm and joy.

Kay Buchanan has been singing in choirs since joining the children’s choir of her home church in Indiana. Kay studied piano when growing up and loves to accompany rehearsals and services. When helping with youth choirs, she particularly enjoys seeing the excitement of the choristers when a piece they are working on comes together. Kay has a master’s degree in occupational therapy from Western Michigan University and has spent most of her professional career working as an occupational therapist.
