Celebrating 25 Years!
Conductor
Paul Rusterholz started taking piano lessons and singing in
a children’s church choir when he was seven years old.
He credits his music-loving parents with sending him to a
great piano teacher, Gertrude Flor. At House of Hope
Church in St. Paul he was fascinated with the sound of
the pipe organ, and with the carillon, which was played by
his father. He took organ lessons from Eugene Nordgren.
At Macalester College he sang in the Concert Choir under
Dale Warland. While at the University of Southern
California, Paul studied conducting with Rodney
Eichenberger and Hans Beer. From 1978-89, he directed
the choirs at the College of St. Teresa in Winona,
Minnesota. Since 1989 Paul has directed the UW-La
Crosse Choral Union and the UW-La Crosse Women’s
Chorus.
Paul is a member of the International Federation for
Choral Music, the American Choral Directors’
Association, Chorus America, and the National
Association of Teachers of Singing. He would love to
have time for more frequent canoe trips, cross country
skiing expeditions, and travel to New York City with his
wife Barbara to visit their son Tim.
