He moved to Florida in 1999 and has been serving at St. Peter’s Cathedral since 2009, working with the three choirs there, administrating the concert series, and serving as musician for diocesan events. Dwight is also a veteran theater organist and was named “Theater Organist of the Year” by the American Theater Organ Society in 2006, and his theater organ recording, The All-American Music of Irving Berlin, was selected as one of the top 10 recordings of 1990 by TIME magazine.
