Augsburg Celebrates the Legacy of Leland Sateren ’35

Augsburg Choir Alumni perform for guests

A special choral concert in honor of Leland B. Sateren ’35, on what would have been his Leland Sateren100th birthday, took place on October 13 at Normandale Lutheran Church in Edina, Minn.

Sateren taught at Augsburg from 1946 through 1979, during which time he also served as chair of the Music Department. More than 180 Augsburg choir alumni, spanning four decades and coming from all over the U.S., participated in the concert, which was directed by several of Sateren’s former students, many of whom now serve as choral directors across the country.
