Sunday, October 11, 2009 10:00 AM – 11:30: “Orchestrating Our Way to an Authentic Life”
Peter & Mary Danzig are former members of the LDS church who resigned after Peter was threatened repeatedly with excommunication for his views on homosexuality and the lack of protections against ecclesiastical abuse within the LDS church.
Prior to their resignation from the LDS church they both served full time proselytizing missions and were founding members of the Orchestra at Temple Square, performing in that calling for seven years.
Peter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who worked as a mental health and substance abuse therapist in rural Utah and currently works as the Program Coordinator for Medical Outreach Case Management at the infectious diseases clinic at the University of Utah.
Mary Danzig has degrees in violin performance from BYU and the University of Utah and maintains a private studio of violin students.
Peter and Mary perform folk and original music under the stage name of Otter Creek and work as freelance musicians in a wide variety of styles. They are currently working on their first solo album.
