Paul R. Marchesano on September 22nd, 2025:

from church history web page:
Music became an active part of St. Lucas on 1893 when the Giesecke tracer action pipe organ was dedicated. Then in 1895 the church orchestra became alive and continues to thrive today. Mr. Ben Oakes currently directs the orchestra following in the footsteps of Elmer Bruck and Bill Cox. The St. Lucas choirs have flourished and have had wonderful direction from devoted individuals such as Bill Johnson, Cheryl Schultz, Dr. Mark Simmons, Jerry Hoover and more recently Dr. Jon Truitt. The Aeolian Skinner organ was rededicated on October 23, 2003 with Kirk Rich at the console. This organ has been played by many fine organists including E. Power Biggs, Fenner Douglas, Vincent Dubois of Paris, France, and Mrs. Hope Nelson to whom the organ is dedicated for 31 years of service to God and St. Lucas.


Database Manager on August 27th, 2018:

Renovation and additions by Goulding & Wood in 2003, after which a rededication concert was held.
