2023 was the inaugural year of the Eugene and Mary Sukup Church Music Program, which renews LSM’s focus on preparing the next generation of church musicians and organists and expands curriculum and educational offerings. This year the Program funded scholarships for a growing organ studio and created the Liturgical Composer-in-Residence position held by Anne Krentz Organ.
As a laboratory for musical artistry and learning, LSM continues to develop new resources during each summer’s academy and festival. We are pleased to share these free downloadable resources for students, teachers, and congregations.
