2024 WELS East Regional Choral Festival
The Illinois Lutheran Schools Music & Arts Festival is a fundraiser for the 2024 WELS East Regional Choral Festival that we are hosting in November. This event will bring hundreds of WELS high school students from across the country to our campus for a weekend. The mission of the WELS Choral Festival is to foster Christian Fellowship among WELS high school students as they prepare, rehearse and perform choral music, so that with one heart and voice they may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 15:16)
