Concordia inducts two into music honor society

Two students have been inducted into Concordia University, Nebraska’s Iota Nu chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, a national music honor society.

Seniors Charles Chaveriat, Brookfield, Wis., and Caledonia Gerth, Alliance, Neb., were recognized at Concordia’s post-baccalaureate concert Friday, May 6.

“Those students who are elected each year are chosen by the Concordia music faculty,” said Dr. Jeffrey Blersch, professor of music.  “As the Pi Kappa Lambda charter suggests, we elect those students who, in our opinion, have stood out and excelled in both musical talent and academic scholarship.  These decisions are frequently not easy ones.  We recognize that, even though we honor two students this year, it is indicative of a much larger pool of excellence in our students.”

 Pi Kappa Lambda recognizes and encourages the highest level of musical achievement and academic scholarship. The organization began in 1918 and currently has more than 200 active chapters. Concordia’s Iota Nu chapter is in its eighth year.
