Mozart to Rossini!

LSM is everything I hoped for and more. I looked forward to these weeks all summer (and I definitely did not look forward for nothing!) It is an incredible experience being able to live, grow, and worship with people as passionate about music as I am, not to mention being able to see all the [...]

This evening, we attended a fantastic performance by the Omega String Quartet, featuring LSM faculty members Sarah Nordlund, Tarn Travers, Spencer Martin, and Eric Lenz.

Kiss me, I am Lutheran

After a standard morning here at LSM we got a real whirlwind of an afternoon.  From 1-3 p.m., twenty excellent Lutheran collges, universities and associations set up camp in the Center for the Arts.
