MUSIC 

AT PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

 

Music is alive and joy-filled at

Peace  Lutheran Church

 

Nothing brings people together better than music. Here at Peace Lutheran we take our music seriously, with the goal of uniting our congregation in praise to God. For more than two decades, Peace Lutheran has offered beautiful and inspirational harmonies both in worship and in concert. Services are rich in hymns and times of musical meditation, offered on our Royal Classic III custom organ by Wicks.

 

The annual Peace Music Concert Series is replete with beautiful choral programs from all eras, world-class soloists and a delightful selection of instrumental performances.

MUSIC MINISTRY

 

Our robust music ministry includes a Sanctuary Choir, a Handbell Choir, an Artist in Residence, and a seasonal “relaxed” choir. Special performances throughout the year have included internationally proclaimed singers and musicians. For more information, please read on.

 

To join our choirs, or for more information, please contact Nic Steltzer, our Music Director. 

SANCTUARY CHOIR

This vocal group participates in the 9:30 a.m. worship service from September to June. The choir sings a wide variety of music from baroque to recently published works. In addition, the choir assists in worship during additional services throughout the year, including Ash Wednesday, Holy Week and Christmas Eve.

 

Choir membership is open to anyone aged 16 and older. It’s not necessary to be able to read music! All that’s needed is a heart for offering a sacrifice of praise using your voice and the ability to attend weekly rehearsals.

HANDBELL CHOIR

This Peace Lutheran choir rings God’s praises on various Sundays as part of the 9:30 a.m. service. Each member of the music-making team plays our three-octive Schulmerich handbells. The bell choir is open to beginners, experienced and “rusty” ringers. The group rehearses weekly, as needed.

 

RELAXED CHOIR

This ensemble assists during our seasonal 5:00 p.m. Saturday worship service, offered November through Palm Sunday. Held in the Good Samaritan fellowship hall, the praise band-style choir is led by keyboard. It’s not necessary to read music to sing, only to attend a weekly rehearsal. Do you play an instrument? Contact Nic Seltzer, director of music, at music@peaceftmyers.comto offer your gifts for this service.

 

Meet Our Artist in Residence

 STEPHANIE LORENZ

 

As a German American opera singer, Stephanie wields an agile, shimmering soprano voice balanced by warm velvet timbre. This talent led her to be recognized as “an astonishing Donna Anna” in her 2022 role debut in Don Giovanni, in Syros, Greece.

 

Stephanie sings in many of Peace Lutheran’s concerts and performances throughout the year. You will not want to miss her!

 

She currently performs as the soprano section leader for the Naples Philharmonic Chorus at Artis-Naples. She serves on the board of directors for the Fort Myers Mastersingers. Stephanie is grateful for the continued success of the City of Palms Youth Choir’s “Youth Leadership Board,” her brainchild. The board was created in 2023 to focus on uplifting excellent youth through their endeavors in music.
