The Wisconsin Lutheran Choir and Chamber Choir of Wisconsin Lutheran College, under the direction of Dr. James A. Nowack, will perform a concert at Crown of Life Lutheran Church (5820 Daniels Parkway) on Thursday, March 12, at 7 p.m. The performance is part of the choirs’ 2026 Spring Concert Tour through Georgia and Florida.

The 90-minute program features time-honored, sacred choral literature as well as inspiring contemporary choral arrangements of well-known hymns and spirituals. Highlights include Unser Wandel Ist Im Himmel by Heinrich Schütz, The Lord Is The Everlasting God by Kenneth Jennings, I Know That My Redeemer Lives arranged by Dan Forrest, and My Soul’s Been Anchored In The Lord arranged by Moses Hogan.

The 27-voice Chamber Choir repertoire includes Troy D. Robertson’s In Meeting We Are Blessed, Ola Gjeilo’s Iam Sol Recedit, Philip Stopford’s Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Dan Forrest’s None Other Lamb, and John Leavitt’s Festival Sanctus. Music of other distinguished composers and arrangers, including Randall Thompson, Martin Luther, F. Melius Christiansen, Shawn Kirchner, and Elaine Hagenberg round out a rich, faith-filled choral experience which celebrates the Lutheran church’s tradition of musical excellence.

Dr. James Nowack, director of choral activities at Wisconsin Lutheran College since 1994, serves as professor, guest conductor, clinician, and adjudicator. Under Nowack’s direction, the Wisconsin Lutheran Choir has developed a unified voice and a respected presence in the Midwest.
