The National Lutheran Choir’s artistry is rooted in its mission to celebrate, invigorate and expand the heritage of sacred choral music through the highest standards of performance and literature. Founded in 1986 by the late Dr. Larry Fleming, the National Lutheran Choir sings a spiritual story through diverse repertoire–from early chant and simple folk anthems to complex choral masterworks and new compositions. Currently in its 37th year, the National Lutheran Choir features a roster of 65 committed volunteer singers from various backgrounds and faith traditions. In addition to concertizing in the Twin Cities and on tour, the National Lutheran Choir serves a national audience through artfully produced content, concert live streams, and other releases on its YouTube channel and through a Virtual Subscription program. A discography of 35 recordings showcases the ensemble’s music making over the years and features hymns, choral classics, contemporary works, spirituals and major new works commissioned by the National Lutheran Choir. Much of this influential new work is featured in “The National Lutheran Choir Series,” published by Morningstar Music. The National Lutheran Choir has been honored with the Wittenberg Award from the Luther Institute, and Chorus America’s Margaret Hillis Award and the Dale Warland Singers Commissioning Award.
