The Lutheran Choir of Chicago is a unique sacred choral ensemble with a rich spiritual tradition and an ever-expanding repertoire. For more than fifty years, our classic a cappella style has enlightened, educated and entertained the people of Chicago and the world.

Artistic Director Wilbert O. Watkins began his association with the Lutheran Choir of Chicago for the 2007-2008 season, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience. Dr. Watkins is the founding artistic director for a not-for-profit organization known as Sing to Live Community Chorus, which provides a musical outlet for women and men touched either directly or indirectly by breast cancer.

His past Midwestern conducting experience has included the following: director of the mixed chorus Unison with the Windy City Performing Arts in Chicago, visiting assistant professor of music education at Northern Illinois University, adjunct faculty at De Paul University, Director of Choral Activities at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa, where he was the originator of a multicultural choral series; and director of the Dubuque Area Men's Chorus.

Having taught as both a choral music educator and an applied voice teacher in Texas, Florida, Iowa and Illinois, Dr. Watkins currently teaches voice privately, serves Pilgrim Congregational Church in Oak Park (also a Rodgers Organ Owner) and has been involved in several volunteer community efforts.
