Incarnation Lutheran has a long history of excellent music expressed though vibrant choirs and congregational singing, dynamic contemporary musicians and skilled soloists.  A hallmark of our ministry is the frequent integration of musicians of all ages, from young children through seniors.  New members are always welcome to participate in LCI's music.  You need not be an experienced musician; you just need the desire to learn and he love of music.
