Watch the August 28 recording of The Song Goes On Hymn Festival.
GAC Music Scholar Program
Each fall, First Lutheran likes to partner with a student from Gustavus Adolphus College and offer them opportunities to help lead our worship. We welcome back Sophie Martinez, a senior at GAC, to play the organ and piano several times during the full school years and substitute as our Handbell Choir Director this fall!
Musical Groups
FLC has several established groups that practice regularly. It is possible to participate when it works for you! During the Fall of 2022, the Handbell Choir and the Jeremiah Band will have several rehearsals:
Jeremiah Band Schedule
Do you have a student interested in singing or playing keyboard, guitar, or percussion? If so, the Jeremiah Band might be a great fit for them! This group is open to children, youth, and adults. Come to one of the following rehearsals led by guitarist Steve Kidder to check it out!
This group is currently at capacity, but there is always room for more subs to help fill in on Wednesdays and Sundays as needed. Regular rehearsals will resume in January, and select rehearsal times and dates are as follows:
Ensembles
Our ensembles are almost never the exact same group of people each time - come when available! These groups typically play or sing once every two to four months with one rehearsal date shortly beforehand. Emily contacts you (typically via email) if you don't contact her first!
