BIO: Joshua
Lindgren was born and raised in Lindsborg, Kansas (“Little Sweden, USA”) where
he attended Bethany College and received a Bachelor of Music Degree with an
emphasis in Organ Performance. Graduate studies were completed through Luther
Seminary (St. Paul) and St. Olaf College (Northfield), culminating in a Master
of Sacred Music degree with an emphasis in organ. For over 20 years, Joshua has
led the People’s Song in ELCA congregations in central Kansas and the Greater
Twin Cities. Presently, he is the Director of Worship and Music for St.
Anthony Park Lutheran Church (SAPLC) where he is principal organist, oversees
the liturgical life of the congregation, directs adult and children’s choirs
and handbells. Joshua waits expectantly with the rest of the SAPLC congregation
for the arrival of their brand-new Létourneau pipe organ in the spring of 2027.
On the third Wednesday of each month, at 12:30pm following the Noon Mass, short recitals of 35-45 minutes feature talented local organists and our infinitely expressive 67-rank Lively-Fulcher pipe organ (no recital in March 2024). Recitals are free of charge (donations welcome) and the public is most welcome. Some recitalists also offer brief spoken program notes to guide the listening experience. The organ is capable of a kaleidoscope of different sonorities. Come experience how it can move you!
