Formed under the guiding principles of faith and musical excellence, The Wartburg Choir is a distinguished choral ensemble that hails from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, an institution affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Established in 1937 by Dr. Edwin Liemohn, the choir has become renowned for its captivating performances, upholding a legacy that blends rigorous academic preparation with a deeply spiritual reverberation. Under the leadership of several outstanding directors over the years, including the notable Dr. Lee Nelson in recent times, The Wartburg Choir continues to preserve the Lutheran choral tradition while also exploring a wide range of musical genres.
Their musical repertoire is both diverse and reflective of their mission to inspire audiences through a commitment to choral artistry. With recent releases such as "Unclouded Day" and "Let My Love Be Heard," The Wartburg Choir reaches into the heart of Americana and contemporary spiritual compositions, breathing life and modern relevance into the choral music scene. "Sanctuary" and "Alleluia!" resonate with the sacred harmony and traditional chorale ethos the ensemble is celebrated for. Their more recent contributions, "Endless Light" and "Flood My Soul With Spirit and Life," attest to their continuous quest to merge the historical with the innovative, offering a sonic journey that elevates the listener's spirit. Through tours, recordings, and heart-stirring performances, The Wartburg Choir diligently crafts a sound that echoes the transcendent human connection to both music and faith.
