Laudamus is a select choir of seminarians preparing for full-time service as pastors in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). Under the direction of Cantor Phillip Magness, interim associate director of music arts, the choir delights in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music. Each year, the choir schedules tours to LCMS churches and schools throughout the country, singing an eclectic program representing the church’s songs from many different genres.
Our program this year, “Not Unto Us,” explores Ps. 115:1, featuring a setting of this Psalm by Donald Busarow and a setting of the Kurt J. Eggert hymn “Not unto Us” from the Lutheran Service Book (LSB 558).
