- Wartburg_Choir abstract "The Wartburg Choir is an 80-voice select auditioned a cappella choir from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. The choir sings during regular concert tours throughout the Midwest as well as through Europe.Founded in 1937 under the direction of Dr. Edwin Liemohn, the choir became one of the first American college choral groups to tour Europe. Liemohn’s successor, Dr. James Fritschel, directed the choir from 1968 to 1984, expanding its reputation for excellence and international exposure. Dr. Paul Torkelson director from 1984 to 2009, conducted the choir at nearly every major concert hall in the United States and led the group on numerous international tours. During Torkelson's 2008-2009 sabbatical, Prof. Weston Noble, acclaimed director of choirs from Luther College, stepped in to conduct and teach The Wartburg Choir. Dr. Lee Nelson became the Wartburg Choir’s fourth conductor in 2009, continuing to build upon the tradition of choral excellence.The Wartburg Choir performs sacred music from all historical periods and styles and often premieres new works by contemporary composers. Called a “mighty fortress of skill” by the Washington Post, the Wartburg Choir is one of Wartburg's three musical ensembles that tour internationally on a triennial basis. Beyond tours, the choir receives invitations for special appearances in the United States and abroad, most recently to participate in the December 2011 White House Holiday Concert Series. As part of that trip to Washington, D.C., the choir also sang at the National Cathedral’s Bethlehem Prayer Service, which was simulcast worldwide. In 2006, the choir performed with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in Prague at the invitation of Maestro Paul Freeman, CNSO music director and chief conductor, who had attended a Wartburg Choir concert at Orchestra Hall in Chicago.The Wartburg Choir tours annually throughout the United States and has made showings at many major music centers and concert halls in the country, including the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; Avery Fisher Hall of Lincoln Center, New York City; Carnegie Hall in New York City; Symphony Center in Chicago; and Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, MN. The choir competed in the Cork International Choral Festival in Cork, Ireland on two separate occasions and is the only American choral group to win first place honors. The Wartburg Choir has been invited to perform at two national and two divisional conventions of the American Choral Directors Association. In 2012, the choir was featured at the North Central ACDA convention spotlight concert, singing Stephen Paulus’ Holocaust oratorio, \"To Be Certain of the Dawn\".Beginning in 1959, the choir has toured internationally every 3–4 years, performing in a total of 21 European countries, three Canadian provinces, Scandinavia, and South Africa. The choir frequently performs with Simon Estes, a world-renowned opera star who also serves as distinguished professor and artist-in-residence at Wartburg College. Dr. Estes joined the choir on two international tours to South Africa, which included performances at the Simon Estes Music High School in Cape Town. Most recently, Dr. Estes joined the choir in a 2010 concert at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center with special guest Madame Denyce Graves, an internationally recognized mezzo-soprano and opera star.Not to forget one's roots, the choir also has a number of performances every year on campus including Christmas with Wartburg, the college's annual Christmas celebration, performing with the Castle Singers, Ritterchor, Saint Elizabeth's Chorale, and the Wartburg Wind Ensemble".
