Music

Music plays a vital role in the worship life at University Lutheran. Our choir sings on most weeks during the academic year, and our brass ensemble, soloists, and small ensembles contribute music year-round. Our resident composer, Bruce Brolsma, and our music director-choir, Lorraine Fitzmaurice, regularly create new music for the congregation, choir, and instrumentalists. Both our Noack organ and the grand piano are used for preludes and postludes.

Choir

Sing with us! The UniLu choir aims to bring high-quality music from a variety of traditions to the community’s worship life. We are students and “students of life,” professional musicians and beginners who just love to sing. On most weeks during the academic year (September – May), we rehearse on Thursdays from 7:30 to 9 pm and on Sundays from 9 to 10 am, and sing at the 10:30 am worship service. New singers are always welcome! Contact choir director Lorraine Fitzmaurice to find out more.

Instrumentalists

Our brass group is always looking for new members, and there are many other opportunities to play. Please contact music director Imogene Stulken to learn about performance opportunities.
