Singing starts June 21 at Concordia Choir Camp

The sunny skies of summer bring freedom for many high-school-age kids and, this year, some students are spending a portion of that precious free time singing at Concordia Choir Camp June 21-27.

“When students participate in music at Concordia, they are building stronger relationships with a large community of students that share their love and passion for musical participation,” said Dr. Michael Culloton, artistic director and conductor of the camp for high-school-age singers.

During the week, the high school students will sleep in a Concordia dorm, but spend much of their time rehearsing, learning more about music, and making friends with other singers from across the region. They’ll also get to perform a wide variety of music, such as folk songs, gospel music, spirituals, and classical music.

Performances will include a concert at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 213 8th St. S., Moorhead. The concert is free and open to the public.

The event is a long-standing tradition in the region. Founded in 1969 by Mark Aamot as the Minnesota All-State Lutheran Choir, the camp has allowed students to perform in approximately 150 venues throughout the state.
