Justin Fields
Justin Fields is a sacred music director, composer, and organist based in Minnesota. His work encompasses choral direction, music for the liturgy, and composition.
He currently serves as Director of Music and Liturgy at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church in Wayzata, where much of his ongoing work takes place.
His choral music is published by Beckenhorst Press and GIA Publications, and his work also includes instrumental and chamber music. His music has been performed by ensembles including Choral Chameleon, Salt Lake Choral Artists, and Rivertree Singers.
Justin grew up in New York in a family of musicians and artists. His father worked as a composer and arranger in the commercial music industry, and Justin was exposed early to recording sessions and working musicians. He began studying piano at age six, and a jazz workshop during his teenage years helped turn music from an interest into a serious pursuit.
He studied music education and composition at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, where he graduated summa cum laude. His studies included composition with David Schober, classical piano with Konstantza Chernov and Christopher Vath, and jazz piano with Deanna Witkowski.
Before moving to Minnesota, Justin served as a church musician at Divine Mercy Parish in Williamsburg and St. Patrick’s Church in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. He also teaches piano, voice, and music theory.
Most importantly, Justin is a husband and father, living with his wife Emily and their three children.
