An ecumenical community
For Lutheran musicians and singers in Sydney — the tradition that gave the Church Bach.
You're welcome here
The Lutheran tradition at AChA
No tradition has given sacred music more than the Lutheran church — Bach's cantatas and Passions, the chorale tradition, a theology that treats music as the handmaid of the gospel. At Australian Christian Arts, that inheritance is treasured.
What you bring
Lutheran members bring the chorale heritage, a deep Bach literacy, and Luther's own conviction that music is a gift of God second only to theology. That theology of music is close to our own founding vision.
We don't ask you to leave your tradition at the door — we ask you to bring it. AChA unites 20+ denominations under the Nicene Creed, and stays alongside your local church rather than replacing it.
Questions from Lutheran musicians
Do you perform Bach?
Yes — the Lutheran sacred repertoire, Bach included, is central to what an orchestra and choir like ours exist to do.
Is the chorale tradition part of your singing?
Very much — the chorales run through the sacred repertoire we love.
