LSM is pleased to announce John Lunde as this year’s recipient of the Dr. Carlos Messerli Service Award. This award is given each year to a deserving individual who follows Dr. Messerli's example of outstanding service to the mission of Lutheran Music Program. John served the LSM admissions office from 1982-1997, primarily as the first Director of Admissions. Throughout the 15+ years he worked for LSM, John recruited approximately 2,690 students. During John’s last three full years, LSM enrollment was 241, 240, and 238 respectively.

Our 2022 Fellows were selected for these prestigious positions after a rigorous application and audition process, and are excited to play an important role in the 2022 community and program.

The value of the LSM experience and its transformational impact are immeasurable. LSM is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their financial circumstances, can be part of the transformational community of music and faith. And thanks to the support of generous alumni-donors such as Leigh-Anne Hemenway Pou, Dr. David Shaw, and Paul Georgeson, the hope of making the academy and festival affordable to all is becoming a reality.

With great anticipation, LSM is excited to announce the appointment of Dr. Zebulon Highben as the 2022 alumni choir director!

LSM is thrilled to announce the appointment of MaryLynn Mennicke (LSM 2001-2005) to the new role of Dean and Director of Admissions.
