Chmura-Moore Returns to Teach at 2013 LSM





Dylan Chmura-Moore, trombone instructor at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and candidate for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts at University of Wisconsin-Madison, will serve as the trombone teacher and performer for the 32nd annual Lutheran Summer Music Academy & Festival (LSM), which will take place June 23 to July 21, 2013, at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. This residential musical training academy serves more than 150 student musicians in grades 8-12 from across the United States and features three major ensembles: band, orchestra and choir, as well as a comprehensive keyboard and organ program.

As a member of the artistic faculty, Chmura-Moore will maintain a private studio, coach a small ensemble, and teach a musicianship class. In addition to performing solo recitals and playing fanfares, Chmura-Moore will perform with both the Praetorius Brass Quintet faculty ensemble and the LSM Porch Brass ensemble. Chmura-Moore joined the LSM faculty in 2011.

Selected through a competitive application and audition process, trombone students at LSM participate in a comprehensive curriculum that includes individual instrument lessons; a chamber ensemble; musicianship classes; symphony orchestra and/or band; and may also include electives like jazz improvisation, conducting, collegium musicum, and more. Students perform alongside faculty artists in the LSM Festival Brass ensemble.

LSM students are served by a roster of 34 faculty artists  esteemed practicing professional musicians and academicians from throughout the United States.
