ALCM Residency at LSM 2022
Welcoming our partners in music and mission
LSM is thrilled to welcome the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians (ALCM) to campus during Festival Week of LSM 2022! As LSM approaches the culmination of a month of together in musical community, ALCM members will experience and add to the richness of our fellowship and join us in celebrating the next generation of Church leaders.
The LSM and ALCM communities will worship together, experience world-class performances from several shared Guest Artists, and these professional and vocational Church Musicians will witness the dedicated and creative work of the LSM 2022 students during Festival Week concerts and recitals.
From ALCM:
“…held in conjunction with the fortieth-anniversary season of Lutheran Summer Music—[this conference] invites participants to strengthen their gifts and explore new skills through workshops, discussions, and hands-on learning opportunities related to topics such as worship and technology, working with intergenerational voices, composition, enriching assembly song, nurturing faith and community, and more.
Framed by morning and evening prayer with the LSM community in Valparaiso University’s Chapel of the Resurrection, each day’s schedule includes opportunities for the ALCM and LSM communities to teach and learn together—indeed, from generation to generation. Thanks to generous financial support from Mark and Kathy Helge, participants will also have the opportunity to attend workshops and performances by three featured guest artists: the Minneapolis-based Cantus, the Leipzig-based Calmus, and organist Martin Jean.”
How ALCM Members can guarantee the bright future of Church Music
This is the perfect time for a student in your congregation to attend LSM, knowing that you support their experience and will be present on campus for the 2022 ALCM Conference to see their incredible progress and experience magnificent worship and music together. You and your student will both come home renewed, inspired, and ready to enrich the musical life of your congregation!
