Lutheran Summer MusicLutheran 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, jazz ensemble, musical theatre, music therapy). In the evenings, students attend recitals and evening prayer services, and social events with their friends.
LSM 2024 takes place at Valparaiso University in Indiana from June 30-July 28 (Full Session) or June 30-July 14 (Half Session) and is open to students who have completed grades 8-12. To learn more, watch this LSM Experience Video or go to LSMacademy.org/program. |

Compline: A Service of Night Prayer9:00-9:30pm Every Sunday Evening
The office of compline (or “night prayer”) is the final hour of the divine office. It offers a time of stillness, prayer, and quiet contemplation as we prepare for the end of the day. Our order of compline is an expanded version of that practiced in the Lutheran tradition. It adheres closely to the Roman Rite, but also borrows generously from Anglican and Sarum sources. It is entirely sung (and chanted) from beginning to end by the Schola Cantorum Lorain, and the music consists of plainsong and renaissance polyphony. FIRST Music @ First Lutheran Church. 1019 West Fifth Street. Lorain, OH. 44052. |
