About Forté

Based in Colorado Springs, Forté is an advanced quartet marked by artistry, energy, and dedication to their craft. They continually challenge themselves to “Rethink Possible,” expanding their musical and performance horizons and adding original compositions and arrangements to their already-challenging repertoire as they strive to explore, innovate, inspire, and glorify God through the gift of music.

Luke Nabeta, the artistic director and only remaining founding member of Forté, began playing bells in 1996. He works for the USPS, arranges and adapts music for Forté, and loves studying the Bible, photography, and spending time with his wife Serena and their five young children.

Megan Reishus has also been ringing handbells since 1996 but truly found her passion for it in college. Since then, she’s immersed herself in bells and joined Forté promptly upon moving from Minnesota to Colorado in 2011. She works for an accounting firm and owns Sonology Music, and she enjoys sharing treats and snacks with the group.

Dillon Ekle has been ringing since 2013 and joined Forté in 2014. He is the handbell director at his church, is a published handbell arranger, works as a bookkeeper and a music engraver, and has an underutilized degree in linguistics. He loves the Colorado mountains and is glad to live in a place where God’s glory is so tangibly present.

Tory Marting began ringing in 2008 and joined Forté in 2015. He is a Colorado Springs native and works in the area as an electrician. He spends his spare time with his wife Grace and their family and friends, and often gives in to the desire to bake cookies.
