He is a nationally known conductor, composer and organist. Recognized for his contributions to the field of church music and liturgy, he is often called upon to serve as clinician and hymn festival leader across the country. During his time with the National Lutheran Choir he served as editor of the National Lutheran Choir Series of choral music published by Morningstar Music Publishers and produced many recordings – including the “Hymns We Love To Sing” series, still available at www.nlca.com. He is a founding member of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians and has served in its leadership in a variety of capacities, including as National President from 1993 to 1997.
This Hymn Sing, entitled “To Everything There Is a Season”, follows the well-known passage of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and will feature hymns based on the themes of the Scripture passage, such as a time for birth, a time for love, a time for peace, a time for singing, and more. Each hymn will be preceded by a reading from poet and hymn writer Susan Palo Cherwien related to one of the specific “times”. The hymns will be presented in fresh and creative musical settings. David Cherwien will be assisted by the voices of the St. Peter’s Choir.
St. Peter’s is proud to present this concert through the support of all of our patrons and sponsors, especially our Platinum Sponsors, Rusty and Holly Downey at Carpenter Realtors.
