Dan Schutte

Dan Schutte has been composing music for worship for more than 30 years. Many of his most celebrated pieces, including “Here I Am, Lord,” “City of God” and “Sing a New Song,” come from his years of collaboration with the St. Louis Jesuits. His more recent pieces still exhibit that enduring ability to reach into people’s hearts and draw them into prayer.

Currently Dan is composer-in-residence at the University of San Francisco and director of music for the Office of University Ministries. He has two master’s degrees from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, as well as an honorary doctorate.

Dan Schutte lectures extensively throughout the United States and abroad, offering workshops and retreats for liturgists and musicians.
