Central Lutheran Church was established in 1919 as a Lutheran presence in downtown Minneapolis. For 100 years Central has been exploring the promise of God, welcoming all – no exceptions. The congregation has a long tradition of outstanding choral, organ, and instrumental music and partners regularly with Augsburg University (the school’s annual Advent Vespers welcomes more than 5,000 to Central for this tradition, now in its 40th year). Central continues to host concerts by a variety of locally and nationally recognized ensembles including the National Lutheran Choir, VocalEssence, the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, the American Choral Directors Association, and the American Guild of Organists.
The sanctuary, which seats 1,800, boasts two organs: a four manual, 107 rank Casavant Frères (1963) and a nine rank Van Daalen tracker (1976) located in the rear gallery. Other instruments include a 47 bell carillon (Paccard, 2006), a Steinway B grand, and a Yamaha grand (7’6”).
