She has been the standard bearer for Moravian Music for 25 years and serves as director of the Moravian Music Foundation in Winston-Salem.

She has been prolific in her preservation, translation, arrangement and publication of the rich musical legacy of Moravians. A native of Winston-Salem, NC and lifelong Moravian, The Rev. Dr. Nola Reed Knouse is an accomplished flutist, composer and arranger – as well as an ordained Moravian minister.
