Morgan Luttig, Ph.D. is a dynamic choral conductor, music educator, and clinician. As Director of Choral Activities at the University of Alabama, she conducts the University Singers, Treble Chorus, and Druid City Chorus while overseeing the undergraduate and graduate conducting programs. In 2024-25, her innovative approach to teaching earned her a Tide Teaching Grant and SEC Faculty Travel Grant. Under her direction, the University of Alabama choral program has over doubled in enrollment. In addition, the UA University Singers were accepted to perform for the 2025 Alabama Music Educators Association (AMEA) Professional Development Conference.
Prior to her current role, Luttig served as the Visiting Choral Director at Washington and Lee University, leading an international tour of Scotland. She also previously taught K-12 choral and general music in Savannah, GA, and Princeton, NJ. Her commitment to the choral arts extends beyond the classroom, as she actively serves in leadership positions with the American Choral Directors Association and National Collegiate Choral Organization.
As a conductor/clinician, Luttig has led honor choirs, clinics, and choral festivals at the state, regional, and district levels throughout the United States. Inspired by her work with varying ages of choirs throughout her career, her research in topics such as conducting pedagogy, inclusive programming, student engagement, and representation in the choral arts have led to presentations and research posters at ACDA and NAfME professional development conferences.
Holding a Ph.D. in Music Education (Choral Conducting) from Florida State University, where she received the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award, Luttig also earned a Master of Music Education (Choral Emphasis) degree from Westminster Choir College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Music from Washington and Lee University.
