J. Reilly Lewis serves God with his music, filling Washington’s grandest spaces with the chords and choirs imagined by the world’s great composers. The 65-year-old D.C. native is the founder and musical director of the Washington Bach Consort, the organist and choirmaster at Clarendon United Methodist Church, and the 25-year musical director of the Cathedral Choral Society, whose season begins with Verdi’s “Requiem” on Oct. 18 at the Washington National Cathedral.
