ST. CECILIA SCHOLA CANTORUM ANNUAL WORKSHOP

(Auburn) St. Cecilia Schola Cantorum has announced its annual chant and polyphony workshop, to be held in Auburn, February 1-2, 2008.

A very special conductor coming from the Netherlands, Wilko Brouwers, will be the honored guest.

All parish choirs in central Alabama are strongly encouraged to attend this workshop, in order to learn the basics of chant and polyphony. Considering that both the documents of Vatican II, and the General Instructions of the Roman Missal firmly state that Gregorian Chant has “pride of place” in the Roman Catholic Church, it is far past time that Catholic Masses be once again filled with this sacred music, which was written specifically for our Catholic liturgy.

More information is here: www.ceciliaschola.org/workshop

You can register online at the above link.

You can always write to the Schola with questions: contact@ceciliaschola.org
