Raymond Ebert received the James V. Salzwedel Award for Excellence in Church Music on Sunday, Dec. 14, at Friedland Moravian, where Ray grew up. Even while serving as organist of Centenary Un. Methodist in Winston-Salem for 40 years, Ray never stopped being Moravian, playing for Candle Tea, recitaling on the Tannenberg organ, playing at Salemtowne, and accompanying the Moramus Chorale, and lots of other things. MMF is proud to honor this fine musician.
