From 1973 he was organist of the St. Laurenzen Kirche, a Protestant church in St. Gallen: he gave up the post in 2013. He has taught improvisation at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.[1]
J. S. Bach-Stiftung
In 2006 Lutz was appointed artistic director of the J. S. Bach-Stiftung, which is based in St. Gallen. The Foundation is engaged in a project to perform and record Bach's complete vocal works at a church in Trogen,[2] a project which began in 2006 and was originally scheduled to take 25 years.[3] The Foundation maintains a choir and an orchestra (founded by Lutz as the "ensemble Schola Seconda Pratica") and features international soloists in the Bach performances.
