A Music and Worship Program for Children
Young Lutherans Sing (YLS) is an inspiring choral and worship experience for young musicians with treble voices who have completed grades 4 through 8. This choral and worship experience provides participants with a variety of hands-on experiences and opportunities to develop musical skills. For musical opportunities for high school age students, visit the
Lutheran Summer Music web site.
YLS is a residential program providing children with a knowledge and appreciation of the Church's song that serves as the basis for future spiritual growth and worship leadership as members of their own congregations. Participants need not be Lutheran.
The 2010 program will be held from July 27-31, 2010 on the campus of Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana. Approximately 50 miles southeast of Chicago, Valparaiso is also the headquarters of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians, which sponsors Young Lutherans Sing.
Michael Burkhardt will once again serve as the YLS choral clinician and conductor. Internationally known for his creative work with children, Michael is in frequent demand as a choral and keyboard specialist. Award-winning author and master storyteller Walter Wangerin, Jr. will be a guest speaker at this year's YLS camp.
