2025 Sponsorship Opportunities
Lutheran Summer Music (LSM), the nation's premier faith-based music academy for high school students, is excited to announce its sponsorship opportunities for the 2025 season. The organization invites alumni, friends, family, and foundations to support LSM by investing in the future of young musicians.
At LSM, students receive advanced musical instruction and numerous performance opportunities while forming an intentional community during a four-week residency 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 point for their future careers and vocations.
Your sponsorship is an investment in LSM's commitment to musical excellence, Lutheran faith, and nurturing community, providing direct support to our program. As a Performance or Studio Sponsor, you will:
Have the option to name a 2025 performance or studio
Receive a hand-written thank you card from the student or faculty member you are supporting
Be invited to attend a private reception hosted by the Board of Directors during LSM 2025 Festival Week
Have an open invitation for a behind-the-scenes tour when LSM is in session
Set an example of generosity and inspire those who benefit from it to one day do the same
