Mike and Donna Wolsted own and operate Encore Productions. They have had an incredible impact on the Lutheran choral tradition in the Midwest, providing recording and production services for The Concordia Choir, as well as many of Concordia’s sister institutions. EP recordings have been distributed internationally, sharing this rich tradition with music lovers around the world. They annually produce a recording of the renowned Concordia Christmas Concert. In recognition of their love of choral music, their passion for global travel in the context of a liberal arts education and their deep affection for the work of Dr. René Clausen, Mike and Donna established this fund.
The purpose of the René Clausen Endowed Fund for International Travel is to support students who need assistance to participate in international music tours as part of any music ensemble that travels internationally.
