Enroll for LSM 2024

Singers from three Lutheran High Schools in the greater Milwaukee area recently came together for the “ONE Choir,” an inaugural joint choir festival. The festival was an opportunity to highlight and continue the Lutheran choral tradition and give students an opportunity to come together with new friends and share in music, faith, and community – all values reflected during LSM.

It is with immense pleasure that LSM announces the appointment of Dr. Christopher Aspaas as the Alumni Choir Director for the 2024 Alumni Gathering. Dr. Aspaas, who previously served as LSM Festival Choir Director in 2008, 2010, and 2012, is a highly accomplished and beloved conductor and educator. 

Lutheran Summer Music, the nation’s premier faith-based music academy for high school students, announces its remaining sponsorship opportunities for its 2024 season. The organization invites alumni, friends, family, and foundations to support LSM, investing in the future of young musicians.

LSM is excited to launch the Annual Alumni Composition Commission project, which aims to support and showcase alumni composers through commissioned works. This year's inaugural alumni composer, Lawton Hall (LSM 2005-2006), has been commissioned to write a new work for brass that will be premiered at the Praetorius Brass Faculty Recital at LSM 2024.

Two esteemed faculty members of LSM are joining forces in an upcoming performance this March. Nicole Lee, piano faculty, will be collaborating with Dr. Kevin Sütterlin, LSM Festival Orchestra conductor, and the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra, of which Sütterlin is the music director. The highlight of the evening will be Lee's performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor.

LSM is thrilled to share that the award-winning Verona Quartet musicians will join the LSM 2024 Faculty and serve as Artists in Residence for the duration of Lutheran Summer Music 2024.

The Association of Lutheran Church Musicians will hold a music and worship conference in conjunction with LSM 2024 at Valparaiso University. The conference, overlapping with LSM week 4, will bring together hundreds of church musicians from across the country for several days of learning, fellowship, and shared musical experiences.

LSM is excited to announce that we have been featuring our wonderful alums through the Alumni Spotlight series for over a year! We are proud to continue highlighting our former students' experiences and their journeys after LSM.
