Director of Music Ministries, Dr. Diana Sanchez Bushong, and Director of Worship Arts, Dr. Lisa Hancock, invite Dr. Marcell Silva Steuernagel, Assistant Professor of Church Music and Director of the Master of Sacred Music and Doctor of Pastoral Music program at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, to discuss performance and worship music. Dr. Steurenagel served as Minister of Worship, Arts, and Communication at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Curitiba, Brazil; is an internationally active composer and performer, performing in both popular and concert environments in Brazil, North American, Europe, Africa, and Asia; has released pop-rock albums, premiered choral, and orchestral compositions in churches and universities; and edited hymnals and writes at the intersection of church music, theology, musicology, and performance theory in both Portuguese and English. Listen in as the team discusses how performance enhances worship and how our theology demands good performance for God’s glory.
