Picture
Paul Salamunovich was professor of music and director of choral activities at Loyola University and LMU from 1964 to 1991. He was recruited to Loyola in 1964 by Richard Trame, S.J., who wanted to improve the quality of the university’s choral music. He is credited with raising the level of music-making on campus to the highest form of academic excellence, bringing national renown to the Loyola and LMU Choruses. An expert in Gregorian chant and a master clinician, he has conducted or guest lectured at nearly 1,000 festivals, clinics, and workshops around the world. In 1969, Professor Salamunovich was recognized for his contributions in the field of sacred music, receiving a Papal Knighthood in the Order of St. Gregory the Great from Pope Paul VI. He also received the Distinguished Artist Award from the Music Center of Los Angeles County in 1995; the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Choral Directors Association in 2000; and a Grammy nomination for recording “Lux Aeterna” and other choral works by Morten Lauridsen.
