Paul Rusterholz is a graduate of Macalester College.  He
received his Master of Arts in Music History from the
University of Minnesota, and a Doctor of Musical Arts in
Choral Music from the University of Southern California.  
He came to La Crosse in 1989 as visiting professor of
music at UW-La Crosse, where he conducts the Choral
Union and the Women’s Chorus, and teaches private
voice lessons. Since 1990 he has conducted the La
Crosse Chamber Chorale.  He is an active member of
Chorus America, the National Association of Teachers of
Singing, the American Choral Directors’ Association, and
the International Federation for Choral Music.

Paul takes great pride in being the conductor of a
community-based choir whose singers and Board of
Directors continually strive for artistic excellence, creative
programming, and organizational strength.  When he’s not
preparing a rehearsal or listening to music, Paul might be
found bicycling, canoeing, cross-country skiing, or
putting the finishing touches on an addition to his house.
