Our music team is made up of dedicated musicians: formally trained, self-taught, older, younger, classical, popular, voices, keys, winds, strings, percussion – all! Led by Music Director Cathy Pescevich Kreplin, we love making music together to the glory of God and for the benefit of our community.
We offer a blend of musical styles during worship – traditional hymnody, classical and contemporary instrumental meditations, modern praise songs, worship music from around the world. We seek to support and enhance the worship experience in a way that speaks to many and makes all feel at home.
Music for the Community
Concerts at Grace
Music is a community service ministry. The more musicians who participate, the more we can serve our neighbors. Whether through benefit concerts to support our outreach missions, music provided to brighten community events, or music brought to those less mobile, we can spread peace, hope, love and joy.
Around the Outer Banks
Every year, we participate in public events, spreading joy and encouraging fellowship. Examples include:
- Grateful Friends Benefit Concerts.
- Dare Days Community Gospel Concert.
- Tent America prayer tent event.
- Hope for the Holidays Coat & Food Drive.
- Music at Spring Arbor Assisted Living.
- Town of Nags Head Tree lighting
Program for Dylan Savage’s Un-Recital
Style and genre selections:
- American Songbook
- Broadway
- Classical
- Country
- Jazz
- Minimalism
- New Age
- Ragtime
- Salsa
- Serialism
You, the audience, can pick any style or genre you would like to hear. You can even “design” how you would like a selection to be played by using descriptive words/phrases such as: hauntingly, whimsical, vigorous, stylistically confused, angrily, or we’ve never heard it this way before. You can also ask a question about something I may have done or said. Tonight’s performance event can take any number of directions – in essence, you guide it, not the performer.
Artist Bio
Dylan Savage, DM, is Professor of Piano at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and is the North Carolina Music Teachers’ Association 2024 Music Teacher of the Year recipient. He is author of the book The Transposed Musician: Teaching Universal Skills to Improve Performance and Benefit Life and co-author of A Symposium for Pianists and Teachers: Strategies to Develop the Mind and Body for Optimal Performance.
Professor Savage created a system for non-music students to learn universal skills where he demonstrated them in performance at the piano keyboard. He then taught that system at UNC-Charlotte as an honors course called Learning Universal Skills through Music: Crucial Tools for Life and Work.
Dr. Savage has performed concerts and presented talks around the globe for over 40 years. During that time, he has also given workshops to businesses and Fortune 500 companies using the piano to demonstrate process in creativity, listening, collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. For the last 20 years, Savage has worked to help music professionals and the general public better understand that life/universal skills can be well-learned through the music lesson and then easily transferred to other disciplines.
Dr. Savage created the Un-Recital to help break down the formal, time-worn practice of the music recital and transform it into something more audience-friendly, informative, and fun.
