Music
Our Music Program
The music program at Muhlenberg is diverse and lively. Our music draws from many cultures and traditions, including Evangelical Lutheran Worship, Taize, the Iona Community, All Creation Sings and more. We enjoy learning music from around the world, sometimes in original languages, and our services are often enhanced by instrumentalists and vocalists from within the congregation, as well as the local universities and surrounding communities. Music is one thing that brings people to (and together at) Muhlenberg.
Our Music Minister, Matthew O. Thomas, oversees all of our choirs, and the many concerts and musical offerings that happen at Muhlenberg Lutheran throughout the year. From young children in our Cherub Choir, to adults in our Chancel Choir, and Handbell Choir (Gloria Dei Ringers), we give thanks for the joy they bring in their music! Contact Matt using the form below if you are interested in participating or have musical gifts to share in worship, and keep an eye on our website for upcoming concerts, recitals, and opportunities.
