Greg Gilpin began piano lessons at the age of four and while continuing his music study in piano, trumpet, French horn and voice, became an accomplished accompanist for choirs in school and his family's church. By the time he entered college, he had developed a strong knowledge of choral music, and directed a church choir for over four years. His first choral works were published while a senior at Northwest Missouri State University, where he received a degree in Vocal Music Education. After graduation, he moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he now resides.
Since 1986, Greg's career has been musically diverse, continuing in music education as a choral arranger and composer and as a private voice and piano instructor. He has worked nationally as a choreographer and as a studio musician and back-up singer. By the mid-nineties, Greg was being sought after to conduct national choral events.
Today, Greg is a well-known ASCAP award-winning choral composer and arranger with hundreds of publications to his credit and is a highly respected choral conductor. He performs frequently as a singer with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra as well as recording artist Sandi Patty. He currently is Director of Educational Choral Publications for Shawnee Press, Inc. and is a member of ACDA, MENC, AFTRA, SAG, and is a Life Loyal Member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.
