    My dear fellow chant enthusiasts,

    It is with great excitement that I wish to announce the first-ever Chant Workshop in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. This coming March 20-21st, 2009, Mr. David J. Hughes of St. Mary's Norwalk will be leading two days of insightful lectures and masterclasses on singing Gregorian Chant. And as a special treat, the Sleepy Hollow Schola Cantorum will be giving a concert on the Friday night. Here is the link to more information and registration:

    Many thanks to Jeffrey Tucker for helping us get this show on the road!

    Just a reminder...the Kingston Chant Workshop is a mere SIX DAYS from now and we still have spots available! What could possibly be a better way to say "Laetare" on the fourth weekend of Lent? Come one, come all!
