Concert Series
 
 

By God's grace, St. Luke's congregation will have the privilege of hosting the 16th season of its annual Concert Series. It is estimated that over 70,000 people have attended performances during the past decade.

You may be surprised to learn that last year alone, the average attendance at the concerts was just under 1000 per concert.

A Great Season!

Through the support of St. Luke’s members and other friends of the Series, we have not only been able to present the finest musical ensembles in Central Florida, but something that sets the Series apart from virtually every other such endeavor in our community: FREE ADMISSION!

Yes, every family in our community is invited to experience these great performances without admission tickets or “free will offerings,” primarily because of the PERSONAL GIFTS of the generous people who make this possible through their special contributions.

The Word Is Out!

We have been blessed indeed, not only with exceedingly large audiences, but with quality programming and growing financial support from individual donors and special grants.

Emails and notes from people in our community, expressing their gratitude for St. Luke's generous gift in producing this Concert Series, come in after every performance. We have a list of performers eager to be included in our Series in future years, and several requests for advice on how to begin a similar effort in other places.
