St. Mark’s hosts a variety of concerts throughout the year. Martin Luther considered music a “divine and excellent gift” from God, and we delight to share that gift with the wider community. We have hosted organ recitals, community choirs and bands, classical guitar ensembles, jazz singers, and much more. Keep reading for a list of upcoming events; unless otherwise noted, they are all free and open to the public.

In his retirement he travels the country sharing his piano collections in informal recitals which incorporate hymn singing, readings, and poetry.
