The piano is a gift to St. Luke’s from parishioner, Tim Pickett, in memory of his wife, Paula, who passed away on December 27, 2021.

Ron earned a Masters in Music/Organ Performance from Houghton College and currently serves as Minister of Music at St. Luke’s where he plays the organ, piano, and directs the choir.

In May, Ron was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a very aggressive brain cancer. He has undergone surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation. With an uncertain future, he passionately offers this premier concert to share some beautiful music produced on the new grand piano.

The concert also will include Brent Isaacson on percussion, Madeline DeJoy on piano, and Brian Bogey on organ

The performance takes place at 4:00 p.m. A reception will follow.

Ron McEntire

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is hosting the third in a series of organ concerts featuring the works of composer, César Franck.

Organist Ron McEntire will perform tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the church. The performance will feature Franck’s “Fantasie in A Major,” “Cantabile,” and “Pièce Héroïque.”

This year is the 200th anniversary of Franck’s birth (1822-1890). He originated the “romantic, symphonic organ” style of playing.

Light refreshments will be offered following the conclusion of the concert. All donations go to the continued care of the church organ.
