Announcing the 2025 New England Sacred Music Workshop! Registration is now open: newenglandsacredmusic.org/register
New England Sacred Music and St. Benedict Abbey are pleased to invite you to a two-and-a-half-day sacred music workshop in beautiful Still River Massachusetts! This workshop is designed for advanced singers and directors who wish to delve further into neumatic interpretation, and for intermediate singers who are looking to broaden their understanding of the repertoire.
Rehearsals and classes will be taught by faculty with a breadth of experience teaching and directing sacred music in monasteries, cathedrals, and parishes of all sizes. Lauds and Vespers will be chanted each day with the monks. In addition to all of the chant propers, participants will sing a polyphonic ordinary and several motets at the two Masses: one Friday evening at St. Benedict Abbey, and one on Saturday at noon at the magnificent St. Cecilia Church in Leominster.
Faculty:
- David Hughes (Denver, Colorado): Advanced Chant, Polyphony
- Samuel Schmitt (Bridgeport, Connecticut): Refresher Chant
- Pedro d'Aquino (Brooklyn, New York): Organ Improvisation
Speakers:
- Bishop Robert McManus (Worcester, Massachusetts)
- Father Robert Pasley (President, Church Music Association of America)
- Mark Langley (Lancaster, Massachusetts)
Cost:
- $200 per participant (includes all workshop materials and six meals)
- We are eager to encourage students and parish choirs to attend. To that end, there will be a generous 50% discount per person for any parish which sends more than five choristers, or any school (secondary or college) which sends more than ten students.
