CONCORDIA LUTHERAN CHURCH
Louisville, Kentucky
Established 1878

Music, both choral and instrumental, is important to our worship life at Concordia. One of the centerpieces of our music program is our 100-year old pipe organ. The organ is a two-manual, 14-rank instrument that was originally built by the Henry Pilcher's Sons organ builders of Louisville. Upon its completion in August of 1903, the organ was installed in the old church and later moved to Concordia's present sanctuary in 1930. A project was begun in June of 1973 to rebuild the organ tonally and was completed in December of that year. In 1984 the Steiner-Reck firm of Louisville was engaged to rebuild the organ mechanically to insure its dependability. August of 2003 marked the organ's 100th anniversary, as it continues to serve and preserve the rich musical heritage of Concordia Lutheran Church.

Our organist is Bradley Johnson. Mr. Johnson received his bachelor of arts degree in music from Indiana University Southeast in August, 2002. In addition to his duties at Concordia, Mr. Johnson is also on the piano faculty at the Louisville Academy of Music.

Children’s Choirs: We have a “Joyful Noise” choir for grades K-4 on Wednesdays; Emily Fraiser is the director. We also have a “Young Voices for Christ” choir for grades 5 to 12, also meeting on Wednesdays. Handbell work is included in this choir. Kim Aberle leads this group. Both groups will be singing in worship services. All children from K to grade 12 are cordially invited to join us.

The Concordia Ringers, led by Mr. Johnson, is our two-octave handbell choir. The choir practices on Monday evenings from 7:30 to 8:30. New participants are always welcome, music literacy being helpful but not entirely necessary.

Soloists and instrumentalists are also featured in the worship services. In addition to our pipe organ, the sanctuary houses a small grand piano.

Whether you enjoy music as a participant or a listener, Concordia welcomes you!
