Collegeville Conference on Music, Liturgy and the Arts

There’s a lot going on in Collegeville this summer. CCMLA – Mark your calendars! June 21-24, registration now open. This year’s topic: New Music, New Texts: Preparing for a New Missal. Great presenters: Paul Ford, Johan van Parys, Sr. Delores Dufner, Lynn Trapp, Kim Kasling, and some Benedictine monk from on campus. For clergy, organists, pianists, instrumentalists, choir directors, cantors, music directors. National Catholic Youth Choir will sing. St. John’s Bible will be featured. Schola Cantorum from the Basilica will sing. Wow – something for everyone. Hope to see you there!

I’ll also be at NPM in Detroit July 12-16 doing a Chant Intensive. Hope to see you in Detroit. Alas, NPM means I’ll have to miss the Hymn Society conference this year which is in Birmingham, AL the same week.

The CMAA colloquium is June 21-27 in Pittsburgh. I’ll be there doing sessions on guitar technique. (OK, I made that up.) Actually I’ll be in Collegeville because the National Catholic Youth Choir summer camp is running then.

Among the summer liturgical music courses is my chant class July 20-22.

What else is going one? Send it in and we’ll list it.

    In your absence I might have to teach them myself! (I did actually take five years of private guitar, true.)

      Jeffrey, didja know I played in my parish guitar group back in junior high, back in the 70s? The texts weren’t the propers of the Mass, I don’t think.

    Don’t forget the American Federation Pueri Cantores directors’ conference at St. John’s in July. If memory serves correctly, you are a presenter.
