Lutheran Summer Music Academy

Lutheran Summer Music Academy & Festival (LSM) is a residential music academy for high school students. Students come together from all over the country to immerse themselves in joyful music-making and build a supportive and welcoming community, living together on a college campus. During the day, students receive advanced musical instruction through large ensembles (Festival Choir, Band and Orchestra), chamber music, private lessons with collegiate-level faculty, and elective classes (such as conducting, composition, music education, church music, music therapy) and other performing ensembles (musical theatre, jazz, handbells). In the evenings, students attend recitals and evening prayer services, and social events with their friends.

LSM 2023 takes place at Valparaiso University in Indiana from June 25-July 23 (Full Session) or June 25-July 9 (Half Session) and is open to students who have completed grades 8-12.
