Mark DiGiampaolo, Music Director

  Mark W. DiGiampaolo, a native of Bound Brook, NJ, received his Bachelors of Arts in Piano Chamber Music from Montclair State University, Upper Montclair NJ, and his Masters of Liturgical Music from Catholic University of America, Washington DC.

  His professional ministry in music spans over 30 years, including significant work in the New York/Washington DC metropolitan areas. In 1991 he moved to Buffalo to assume duties at St. Joseph’s RC Cathedral. During his 16 year tenure he completely overhauled the choral program, initiated and oversaw a 1 million dollar nationally-acclaimed renovation of the Cathedral's historic pipe organ, and established the site as a venue for high-quality musical events.

  Mark has presented numerous workshops and master classes in the USA and Canada, and is known for his improvisatory abilities. He is much in demand throughout the Western New York area as an accompanist and vocal coach.

   In addition to his work as a musician, he has also pursued education in two other passions: theology and real estate. Mark earned 36 graduate hours in theology from Christ the King Seminary and most recently received his New York State real estate license joining the team at Holcberg. He began his service at Ascension on Easter Sunday 2007.
