Launching this Fall!
National Lutheran Children’s Choir
Sing with Purpose
This fall, we’re launching our new Children’s Choir program for children 7-14 who love to sing! This program includes weekly rehearsals and several performance opportunities for children throughout the 2026-2027 school year. Young singers will learn new skills, and experience the joy of making music together with others.
COMING HOME
Celebrating 40 years of the National Lutheran Choir
In a world ever shifting, we return home to what anchors us: music, memory, and the sacred ties that bind.
Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us this season!
Who we are
The National Lutheran Choir, now in its 40th season, engages listeners of all faiths and traditions by singing the spirit of music familiar and new. The Choir’s artistry is rooted in its mission to celebrate, invigorate, and expand sacred choral music, bringing inspiration and meaning to all people. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Choir is rostered for excellence and community, sustained through individual donations.
Under the direction of nationally-recognized conductor, composer, and vocalist Dr. Jennaya Robison, the 65+ member Choir gives voice to the full breadth of sacred music of our time and the past, grounding itself in the Lutheran choral tradition. Making our home in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, the National Lutheran Choir etches its place in the world of sacred choral music through concertizing, touring, and broadcasting art globally.
40 Years of the NLC
