SACRED MUSIC CONCERTS

I love performing sacred music concerts in churches. If you're interested, I can share with your church any of these:

a) Classical guitar sacred concert: Hymn arrangements and original sacred compositions.
b) Organ sacred concert: Hymn arrangements and original sacred compositions.
c) Classical guitar and organ sacred concert. The 1st part is guitar and the 2nd part is organ.
d) Hymn festival. Here the congregation sings hymns accompanied and directed by me on the organ. This is a beautiful Lutheran tradition, which gives the organ the opportunity to embellish and enhance the hymn tunes and texts through newly composed or improvised harmonizations, preludes, interludes, and postludes.

You can watch here a live church concert.
