Young Musicians Partnerships

The high point of my experience with LSM was learning and experiencing firsthand how my musical gifts fit with my Lutheran faith. — LSM Alum

About the Young Musicians Partnership

The Young Musicians Partnership (YMP) is a growing network of organizations that financially support young musicians to attend Lutheran Summer Music. Any organization (such as churches, family foundations, rotary clubs, etc.) that contributes toward student scholarships will be automatically recognized as a Young Musicians Partner. When an organization contributes toward a specific student’s tuition, funds will be matched at 50% by Lutheran Summer Music for that student, up to a potential match of $500 from LSM.

LSM also provides free resources for Young Musicians Partner congregations, to allow connections between the LSM program and church music ministry. To learn more about these benefits and connections, visit the Young Musicians Partner Congregation Guide. To support LSM students and become a Young Musicians Partner, contact LSM Admissions at admissions@lutheransummermusic.org.

Why Does This Matter?

For more than 30 years, LSM has offered youth the opportunity to explore their faith and experience musical growth while studying the heritage music of the church. When students leave LSM, they carry that legacy to their churches and communities and throughout their entire lives. Ensuring that the rich tradition of music found in the church will remain strong, youth return home with new skills and a sense of confidence to share their gifts and serve their church and community. The Young Musicians Partnership helps encourage students in this growth.
