Lyn Loewi has been an organist and choir director for over forty years. She feels at home in the church with all its beauty and imperfections, firm in the belief that God is at work when we gather in love. She is particularly drawn to the work of expanding the canon of choral and organ music to include the marginalized. How can we see the sacred in every human being?
Lyn has been Associate Organist at St. John’s Church-Lafayette Square; Interim Director of Music at St. John's Cathedral in Denver; Organist at St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and Minister of Music at First Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon as well as Webster Groves Presbyterian in St. Louis, Missouri. She has taught at Lewis and Clark College, Portland State University, and the University of Minnesota and played recitals at Notre Dame in Paris, in Japan, Sweden, and Germany. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Michigan, Masters and Doctoral degrees from Stanford University, and a Premier Prix à l’unanimité du jury from the French National Conservatory. Her doctoral dissertation was on women composers for the organ. She is President of the Women’s Sacred Music Project and serves on the IDEA Committee (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) of the American Guild of Organists. She is married to David Loewi and they have three children: Alexander, Peter, and Ethan.
