Loading...Lisa Lewis, celebrating her 25th year as director of music at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Anchorage, will give an organ concert on Mother's Day (May 9) at Christ Church Cathedral, 421 S. Second St., Louisville. The concert will begin at 5 p.m. (ET).
After a 23-year-long detour into the business world, Lewis has returned with great relief and enthusiasm to music, full-time. St. Luke's choir sang at the National Cathedral in May 2006 for Kentucky Day, and in May 2007 sang at a service with the presiding bishop at All Saints' Conference Center. She also directs St. Luke's Celtic Band, a group of talented parishioners who enjoy a good reel.
Lewis is a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Music, where she studied organ with Melvin Dickinson. She was a research assistant to Dr. Gerhard Herz for his book "Bach Sources in America." She studied briefly in Germany with Harold Vogel, which culminated in a recital in Stade on the historic Schnitger organ. She has also played recitals in France, notably in Souvigny.
The concert will be followed by Choral Evensong, a brief meditation of music and prayer in the Anglican tradition, which only Christ Church and one other parish in the area offer to the community. This musical event is free and open to the public.
