Triune Concert Series
St. John's Triune Concert Series, which just celebrated its 43rd season, has the distinction of being Columbus’ oldest church concert series. Every year, the series helps St. John's to share diverse musical offerings with the community in a lovely acoustical and architectural setting. Since 1969, the concert series has been under the direction of Minister of Music May Schwarz.

This season, we were pleased to again feature internationally acclaimed pianist Per Enflo in "Mostly Mozart" on Friday, January 25. Enflo was joined by soprano Margaret Kohler and violinist Kai-Hui Tan, along with the Triune Concert Orchestra.

On Friday, February 15, we welcomed the award-winning Brass Band of Columbus under the direction of Timothy Jameson, and the Central Ohio Brass under the direction of Paul Droste, former director of The Ohio State University Marching Band.

The Grove City Community Winds, under the direction of James Swearingen, performed the third concert in St. John's Triune Concert Series on Friday, February 29.

We hope you will plan to join us for the 2009 Triune Concert Series. As always, admission is free; parking is free, and a freewill offering will be collected to support our worship, music and outreach programs.

History of the Triune Concerts
In 1993 at the "Mostly Mozart" concert, internationally acclaimed soprano Elizabeth Holleque performed with her husband, Alessandro Siciliani, music director of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, conducting the Triune Concert Orchestra. Other musical offerings over the years include: The Oberlin Baroque Ensemble; The Early Interval; the Singing Boys of Pennsylvania; The Ohio Boy Choir; Organists Heinz Wunderlich (Germany), Lionel Rogg (Switzerland), Piet Kee (Holland), Richard Townend (England), August Humer (Austria), Dennis James, Marianne Webb, Susan Ferre, Charles Benbow, and Gerre Hancock; The Columbus Symphony Brass Quintet; The Columbus Symphony String Quartet; The Columbus Symphony Woodwind Quintet; Oberlin College Concert Choir, Heidelberg College Concert Choir, The Ohio Village Singers, and The American Boychoir (Princeton).

It is our hope that these concerts will be spiritually refreshing and that audiences will return often to St. John’s.
