National Lutheran Choir

National Lutheran Choir The National Lutheran Choir features a roster of more than 65 volunteer singers from various backgrounds and faith traditions.

The National Lutheran Choir celebrates, invigorates, and expands sacred choral music, bringing inspiration and meaning to people of diverse faiths and backgrounds. Founded in 1986 by the late Larry Fleming, grown under the direction of David Cherwien from 2002-2023, and now led by Jennaya Robison, the National Lutheran Choir sings a spiritual story through diverse repertoire including selections f

rom early chant and simple folk anthems to complex choral masterworks and new compositions. In addition to concertizing in the Twin Cities and on annual tours, the choir serves a serves a national audience through artfully produced digital content, concert livestreams, and other releases on YouTube. A discography of 36 recordings showcases the ensemble’s music making over the years and presents hymns, choral classics, contemporary works, spirituals, and major new works commissioned by the National Lutheran Choir. Much of this influential new work is featured in MorningStar Music’s collection, “The National Lutheran Choir Series.” The National Lutheran Choir has been honored with the Wittenberg Award from the Luther Institute, Chorus America’s Margaret Hillis Award, and the Dale Warland Singers Commissioning Award.
