Lutheran Summer Music (LSM) is the nation’s premier faith-based music academy for high school students. Experience a summer of concerts, recitals, and worship at St. Olaf College—open to all!
New in 2026: Many recitals and concerts require free tickets to help manage seating.
In addition to advanced musical instruction and numerous performance opportunities, LSM students form an intentional community, living together for four weeks on a Lutheran college campus. Since 1981, this unique and immersive program has guided the lives of thousands of young musicians, many of whom credit LSM as the starting place for their future careers and vocations.
