Silver, wood and ivory are three creations of beauty found in nature. When you add the musical inspirations of Tracy Dietrich and Cindy Wittenberg, “Silver, Wood & Ivory” transform into a celestial musical journey.

Tracy Dietrich, the Silver and Wood of the duo, was born with the gift of perfect pitch. She says that playing music came as second nature to her from the time she was a child. Tracy has played other instruments, but it’s the flute that has captured the passion of her musical voice. Tracy has mastered nineteen different flutes and recorders ranging from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. These intricate varieties of flutes compliment her unique style.

Cindy Wittenberg, the Ivory of the pair, grew up in a musical family with a classically trained mother. She began playing the piano at the age of four and began formal training at the age of eight. Cindy also has learned to play the organ and the bassoon which allows her to draw from her symphonic experiences when composing music.

Together, this two-person orchestra of classically trained artists have fashioned a tapestry of music that stirs the soul. Tracy and Cindy both have instrumental performance degrees. Tracy from Indiana University and Cindy from Elizabethtown College and Peabody Conservatory.

Whether it’s a family song that causes memories to come flooding back or a new melody that creates a sense of calm, Silver, Wood & Ivory has created a body of work that will satisfy everyone’s melodic appetite

“FREE FAITH YOGA every Wednesdays at 5:30 - 6:30 PM.”

"Our Second Free Yoga Class is every Thursdays at 9:00 - 10:00 am"

Christian Yoga classes at St. Bartholomew’s are offered at no cost – we just ask that you bring a yoga mat, (optional) yoga block or blanket and come dressed comfortably in layers. The one-hour class is a time to release tension and distractions so that we can explore the healing practice of yoga, deepen our faith, and rest in the peace that was so freely given to us. Each class is infused with scripture and Christ-centered meditations. Classes are tailored to all ability levels and different seasons in life.
