Linda Luebke

Linda Luebke was a member of the Board of Directors of Crossroads of America Youth Orchestra (CAYO.) Under her direction, CAYO began a preparatory orchestra, an after-school strings program, and the County Wide Strings Festival, later to be named in her honor.

Dr. Linda Luebke served Indiana State University and the Terre Haute community from 2008 until her passing in 2013.  As an assistant professor of music, she shared her lifelong passion for music education with hundreds of ISU student and Indiana music educators, and worked diligently to prepare aspiring young music teachers for the classroom.  A skilled cellist, Dr. Luebke shared her musical gifts with those around her.  Her strong belief in the power of music and the arts to transform and improve lives, inspired her work on behalf of many arts organizations, including CAYO in Terre Haute.

Dr. Luebke was a graduate of Marquette University, received her Master’s degree from Holy Names College in Early Music, and her PhD from Gonzaga University.  Prior to her career at ISU, Dr. Luebke taught elementary music for sixteen years and received numerous awards and grants for her classroom work.  Linda had two sons, Quincy (wife, Caitlin) and Ted (wife, Hanine).
