The Luther College Nordic Choir was established by Sigvart Steen, an alumnus of the college, in 1946. Just two years after its founding, Weston Noble began a 57-year tenure as the choir's music director and conductor.[1] During this time, Noble continued to cultivate the Lutheran collegiate choral traditions in the United States.
Additional choirs were created in order to accommodate the growing interest in choral music and voice at Luther College. Following Noble's retirement in 2005, Craig Arnold became the Director of Choral Activities and conductor of the Nordic Choir. Arnold held this position until 2010, when he was succeeded by Allen Hightower, who led the ensemble until 2016. The current conductor of is Andrew Last.
The Nordic Choir tours annually throughout the United States and has appeared at many of the major concert halls and music centers in the United States, including Lincoln Center, New York City; the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C.; Orchestra Hall, Chicago; Orchestra Hall and the Historic State Theater, Minneapolis; the Ordway Music Theater, St. Paul, Minnesota; Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Crystal Cathedral, Los Angeles; and the historic Mormon Tabernacle, Salt Lake City. The choir also has been featured in three international television broadcasts of The Hour of Power and on four national convention programs of the American Choral Directors Association.
Closer to home, the choir appears frequently on campus in concerts, worship services and at "Christmas at Luther," the college's annual, nationally-televised and Emmy Award winning Christmas concert series, alongside the Luther College Symphony Orchestra and five other Luther choirs.
In the fall of 2006, the Nordic Choir released its first CD under the direction of Craig Arnold, The Road Home, that joined the extensive library of recordings highlighting the Noble choral legacy. The choir's album Prayer, under the direction of Allen Hightower, was released in 2014.[citation needed]

The Augustana Choir has a rich history spanning 90 years. The Choir was founded in 1921 and chartered by the faculty of Augustana College to \"serve God, the Church, and our school\" through choral music. In the words of the choir's founding conductor, Dr. Carl Youngdahl, the choir would \"perform a cappella and could thereby appear in the smallest of churches as well as the largest and our concert would be a sermon in song.\" Today, The Augustana Choir continues to bring sacred choral music of the highest caliber to people around the region, nation, and world.
Viking Singers is an auditioned ensemble that performs challenging and complex a cappella music at the highest level. Members of the choir have performed in and been recognized for outstanding performances in the All-State and Regional Honor Choirs and various choral festivals throughout the state. This talented group has received numerous gold, unanimous superior and 1st place awards and has been invited to participate in the Heritage Festival of Gold in New York.

Recently the choir has performed at the Stanislaus Partners in Education Luncheon, Rotary's Teacher of the Year Luncheon, and Stanislaus County Office of Education Friend to Friend Conference.
