On May 7, Luther Seminary students, staff, faculty and the wider community gathered for a Global Music Celebration. The event was sponsored and hosted by the student group Dismantling Racism: Living into Beloved Community (DRBC), led by students Philip Nushann and Katelyn Rakotoarivelo.
The event began with a performance by David Young, a Liberian gospel musician, and continued with songs from Ethiopia, Madagascar, Peru, South Korea, Nigeria and more. Several current and former Luther Seminary students were among those sharing their musical talents. Music and musicians from around the world filled the chapel with energy, passion and excitement. Celebrating these rich and diverse gifts together was an incredible experience and blessing. In addition, international students completing their studies at Luther Seminary were recognized by ISAA at this event.
DRBC’s hope for the evening, to enjoy time in fellowship and celebration with the global community present right here at Luther Seminary, was fulfilled.
