Fine Arts Series at St. Marcus

Irish Christsong Concert | The Lutheran Ceili Orchestra

December 17 | 6:30 pm

Join us Wednesday, December 17 at 6:30 pm for a special Advent worship concert with a Celtic flare from the Lutheran Ceili Orchestra. The Lutheran Ceili Orchestra is a group of Christian musicians that specializes in a Celtic perspective on Christian worship. They blend bagpipes, tin whistle, fiddle, harp, accordion, and other classic sounds of Celtic music with worship. Everyone is invited to this concert with a reception and fellowship hour to follow.

Admission is free, but donations are appreciated to offset costs.

About The Lutheran Ceili Orchestra

The Lutheran Ceili Orchestra was founded by Pastor Mark Jeske and music director Jeff Krumbein in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1990s. Originally assembled from members of St. Marcus Lutheran Church to accompany a Christian worship service around St. Patrick's Day, the group has grown to include members of Lutheran churches from all over Wisconsin and tours across the country. Their unique mission is to lead meaningful, edifying liturgical worship while bringing forward the voice of the ancient Celtic Christian.

The St. Marcus Fine Arts Series launched in September of 2019 shortly after the rebuild of its spectacular 34-rank pipe organ. The series aims at bringing together the greater community to hear notable music by expert talent. Concerts take place in the beautiful church sanctuary built in 1913, with its wonderful acoustics. Concerts are followed by a beer and wine reception to visit with artists and fellow attendees. Concerts are free and open to the community.
