Photos from the final Coburg Recital for our Master of Church Music program

06/29/2026

Join us on Wednesday, July 1, at 7:00 pm for the *last* Coburg Recital, in which our graduate students will demonstrate some of what they learned this summer. The Recital will be held in the Chapel of Christ Triumphant, but note that there is currently no direct way to get to the Chapel because of construction. The easiest path would be to enter through the Welcome Center in Luther, walk all the way down the hall until it dead ends (turn right into Loeber, do not continue straight-ish into Barth), turn right again at the dead end, and then turn left at the dead end, which will put you by the Dining Hall.

Another feature on one of our graduating music students!

At first glance, computer science and music may seem to have little in common. After all, computer science centers on technology and data, while music is rooted in creativity and performance. But for 2026 Concordia graduate Timothy Conner, pursuing both music and computer science has been a rewardin...
