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 and performed by invitation for the 2024 Alabama Vocal Association All-State Choral Convocation.
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 executive leadership and conference planning positions with the American Choral Directors Association. She also serves as Associate Editor of Recording Reviews for the National Collegiate Choral Organization's (NCCO) publication, The Choral Scholar and American Choral Review.
As a conductor/clinician, Luttig has led honor choirs, clinics, and choral festivals at the state, regional, and district levels throughout the United States. Additional invited conducting roles include working with the Princeton Girlchoir and Princeton Boychoir, Westminster Neighborhood Children's Choir, RISE Chorales, Savannah Children’s Choir. 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.
Luttig's choral singing experience includes performances with the Festival Singers of Florida, Florida State University Chamber Choir and University Singers, and Westminster Choir College Kantorei among others.
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.
