Music plays a crucial role in worship at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, inspiring us to enter into God’s presence and serving as a conduit for God’s word. It influences each worshiper's state of mind, promoting joy, gratefulness, self-reflection, reverence, and contemplation; and it forms us into one unified body, a community that seeks God and serves God together.

St. Luke’s is blessed to have a thriving music ministry that includes an adult choir and children’s choir; weekly worship services in which the beautiful sounds of our pipe organ and grand piano can be heard emanating throughout the church; and a host of talented professional and amateur musicians who regularly play on Sundays and feast days.

The music program at St. Luke’s is led by organist, pianist, and choirmaster Kate Weber-Petrova. Kate has been a professional church musician for about twenty years and has performed as a recitalist and collaborative musician throughout the Baltimore/DC and Milwaukee areas. An accomplished pianist, organist, and mezzo soprano, Kate believes that the variety she offers as a musician brings a richness and diversity to worship that mirrors the manner in which most people listen to and connect with music today. Kate has a bachelor of music from the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University and a master of arts from the University of Maryland, where she was previously on the musicology faculty.
