John Kasica John Kasica

John Kasica has been percussionist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for over 15 years holding the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Foundation Chair. He received his formal percussion training from the Julliard School of Music.

John says he applies Christ's servant philosophy to his fellow professionals. "If you serve your colleagues and give them the first opportunity to have the best part, and encourage them and help them sound better rather than compete with them (let them be the best) you reap what you sow. God will position you to do the best work. Now that takes a lot of faith in God (to die to your own talent) but that's what it takes."

His talent is evident especially in the showcase of Latin, Jewish, and Arab rhythms found in Turning Over Tables. The artistic affects in Remember the Blood and the supportive flow during Proclaiming His Word show his beautiful musicianship. John is truly one of the finest percussionists in the U.S.


Mark Sulewski Mark Sulewski

Mark Sulewski graduated with a performance degree in Classical Guitar from The Cleveland Institute of Music, a student of John Holmquist. His classical background gives him technique to play in any style, while preserving musicality and taste. The artistry of his playing complements the oboe and piano in Remember the Blood. His classical guitar solo in Nicodemus is breathtaking; the electric in the bridge is powerful. Mark is truly a world class guitarist.
