Arijit brings a wide background to his new music ministry. He is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Connecticut, where he earned his bachelor of music degree. He also attended the Moscow Conservatory and is currently attending the Brooklyn College Conservancy.

Jane Donnelly, pastor of Bay Ridge United Church, said, “It is a wonderful gift to have Arijit leading the music program in our church. We hope that Arijit’s youthful enthusiasm will attract new members to the choir.”

Arijit replaced Joshua Feltman who decided to pursue other interests in California.

Bay Ridge United Church is at 636 Bay Ridge Parkway (75th St.) between 6th and 7th avenues.
