Music Director: Keith Clattenburg
Keith began piano lessons at 5 years old and continued until he was 18. At age 12, he started to accompany his dad who was soloist and choir director at many local churches. Entering High School, Keith was chosen to accompany many different choirs, including the PIAA Concert Choir and Southeastern Massachusetts School Bandmasters Association Choir. At age 16, Keith was introduced to the organ by legendary Wanamaker organist Keith Chapmen. Keith studied under him for 2 years then started studying with Biff Claflin of Abington Presbyterian Church.
After High School, Keith entered the Marine Corps where he was a Chaplin’s assistant and played for every church service on Paris Island. A few years ago, Keith had some cameo appearances in Discovery Channel's Amish Mafia and Destination America's Amish Haunting.

Fast forward to the present day, you will find Keith substituting at local churches on Saturday nights, along with his wife Laura singing cantor parts and special music when needed. UCC, Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran are some of the denominations where he has substituted. Keith is also heavily involved in community theater in the Greater Philadelphia Area. He has musically directed over 15 musicals and continues to serve the community as much as possible.
Keith's prayers were answered when, in search of something more stable, he stumbled upon the need for a Music Director at Zion's. He is grateful to be a part of the warm and welcoming Zion's family.
