Christmas at Luther 2010

Gloria in Excelsis Deo A Message from the President

Gloria in Excelsis Deo

It is a pleasure to welcome you to Christmas at Luther, indeed a time that Luther gives Glory to God in the Highest!

Since our founding in 1861, music making has played a fundamental role in a Luther education. Music is central to our rigorous liberal arts curriculum, and it is transformative in the lives of our students and in the lives of listeners. My hope for these students is that they realize what a tremendous gift it is to be able to create beauty and help connect the Luther College community to its treasured faith heritage.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo were the words the angels sang when the birth of Christ was announced to shepherds. How fortunate that over 600 students announce that same message of joy to us today. May their music stir and inspire you anew with the glorious news of ’s birth.

19 Music at Luther

Music at Luther (http://music.luther.edu) The Luther campus is alive with the sounds of six choirs, three bands, three orchestras, and two jazz bands. Nearly 1,000 student musicians participate in our large ensembles, faculty-coached chamber groups, private lessons, and master classes. More than 350 students pursue the rigorous Luther music major, studying music theory, ear training, history, music education, composition, church music, and performance. It all adds up to one of the largest collegiate music programs in the world!

Martin Luther—our namesake—believed music to be “one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.” For over 130 years Luther students have been sharing this marvelous gift with audiences across the country and around the globe.

Luther College (www.luther.edu) Founded in 1861 by Norwegian immigrants, Luther College provides its 2,500 students with a classic liberal arts education.

Luther offers more than 60 majors and pre-professional and certifcate programs leading to the bachelor of arts degree. The college’s strong academic program includes internships, professional semesters, and extensive study- abroad opportunities. Dedicated and talented faculty help Luther students develop solid research, writing, and critical-thinking skills, while the close-knit community imbues its members with an environmental and service ethos.

The Phi Beta Kappa college is bolstered by its Lutheran foundation, celebrated for its vibrant music and arts tradition, and enriched by its strong athletic program.
