Laudamus [1], Concordia Seminary, St. Louis’ premier choir, will perform at 11 churches, schools and universities in Illinois and Wisconsin during the Spring 2023 Concert Tour.
“All are welcome to be refreshed by the rich voices of the Laudamus men’s choir as they sing of God’s forgiveness and grace in Jesus,” said Greg Gastler, interim choral director at the Seminary. “We cherish the connections made with the schools, universities, churches and communities we visit, which reinforces the partnership in ministry that Concordia Seminary shares with the church in the world.”
The tour theme, “Light,” is based on Jesus’ words in John 9:5b ESV, “I am the light of the world.”
The Laudamus tour itinerary includes the following:
The choir will perform pieces by Mark Bender, Dietrich Buxtehude, Samuel Eatherton, Johann Franck, Hans Leo Hassler, Ronald Nelson, Lloyd Pfautsch, Carl Schalk, Christopher Tye, Melchior Vulpius and others.
The concerts are free and open to the public. Freewill offerings will be collected to support music arts [27] programs at the Seminary. To learn more about Laudamus and the spring tour, visit csl.edu/laudamus [28].
