音乐系

自1881年以来, Concordia University’s mission has been teaching and preparing students for careers and vocations that serve The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. 音乐一直是这一使命不可分割的一部分. 音乐系有助于精神方面的发展, 文化, 艺术, academic and co-curricular aspects to University life on campus. As the campus has grown in scope and size the music department has become more integral to the University mission.
