Richard C. Ewert, Accompanist

Richard C. Ewert is Head Organist at Elm Grove Evangelical Lutheran Church, Elm Grove, WI. He studied under Professor Phyllis J. Stringham at Carroll College, Waukesha, WI, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Applied Music – Organ Performance.

During his college years, he was a finalist in the Bach-a-thon scholarship competition (receiving the Keyboard Award) and played for a number of master classes at the University of Wisconsin and regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists (AGO).

He has been a member of the Milwaukee Chapter of the AGO since 1976 and serves as guest organist on festival occasions in the Milwaukee area. In 1990 and 1992, he, together with Rev. Doctor Harold L. Senkbeil, led Hymn Heritage tours which included devotional services utilizing many of the historic organs of Europe.

Mr. Ewert is known for excellence in hymn improvisation and sensitive tonal interpretation of the nuances of the church’s song. He is currently enrolled at Concordia University Wisconsin pursuing a Master of Church Music degree studying organ with Dr. John A. Behnke and Dr. James W. Freese.

In 2016, he taught organ, led worship, and played a recital at the Uhuru Highway Lutheran Cathedral of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya (ELCK), Luther Plaza in Nairobi, Kenya.

"Thank you for the beautiful concert on Sunday and for the dedication of all the choir members! There are few opportunities to hear a full choir sing such glorious music."

"Wow! What beautiful music I heard on Sunday. It was glorious! Uplifting! Enriching! Precise blending of tone and parts, heavenly music and so joyous!"

“We enjoyed the concert so much at Hales Corners Lutheran Church. It was a very comforting concert and glad Martin Luther HS kids were included. A great experience for them!”
