A winner of organ performance and improvisation competitions, he has performed in concert with Canadian orchestras and choral ensembles and as a solo performer in major churches and concert halls in North American and Europe. Rev. Manweiler has served as resident organist and music director in large churches of Lutheran Church—Canada as well as director of music at Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton, Alberta.

Though Lorne is a pastor and great musician he is also a fun part of the choir this year and will be coming on the tour with us. With two pastors along we should be well behaved.
