Your gift changes lives

Your gift today opens the door wider for every student to see themselves at LSM, regardless of financial circumstances thanks to a growing scholarship fund. Here’s what just a few of our 2023 applicants expressed about why they wish to be part of Lutheran Summer Music:
Student from Pennsylvania:
"For me, music and church simply belong together, whether that is in the sonatas or concertos of J.S. Bach, in a simple hymn, or in more modern worship music. What strikes me about LSM is not just the music, but the collaborative rather than competitive spirit, boosted by the faith life that is such a big part of LSM."
Student from Minnesota:
"I want to attend LSM because I would learn a lot from intensive music study. I love music because it expresses feelings in a deeper way than just words."
Student from Virginia:
"It is not often I am part of a group where I feel like I truly belong, and I hope LSM is the place I can find that."
Student from Washington:
"I want to attend LSM because I am truly happiest when I make music alongside other people. I also hope to learn a little more about my faith, and how I can serve the church with my musical gifts."
Student from Texas:
“I want to attend LSM for three primary reasons: to improve my musical skills, to make new friends, and to devote four weeks of my summer to self-improvement and faith. Aside from the obvious goal of musical improvement, I hope to use this opportunity to discipline myself and find more ambition to be productive in my day-to-day life. I also hope that my time away from home will allow me to spend more time reflecting on God.”
