Together, the Mervines have a working relationship with several well-known composers, and enjoy commissioning (75+), composing, and arranging; bringing new and exciting music to Concert and Liturgy.   They enjoy the privilege of being recognized as Allen Artists, and are honored to be training and preparing music leaders of the future.  The Mervines filled in for the “First Lady of the Organ,” Diane Bish, at the Pikes Peak Center, a mere three hours prior to curtain when she suddenly became too ill to perform.  They have been featured guest artists on the Hour of Power at the Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove California. They have also been featured presenters for National & Regional AGO Conventions and for the American Theater Organ Society.
