Hi there: I am trying to arrange a good vacation this year because I’ve had a difficult year. I would love to go to a music conference or seminar or festival where they had both teaching and possibilities to participate. I will not be able to go to the colloquium this year because of the timing
Can anyone suggest anything? Many thanks, Kenneth.
I've attended this one each summer since 2021. It feels very retreat-like. The daily schedule is similar to the Colloquium -- but it is much shorter: it starts Wednesday afternoon and ends Friday after lunch.
2025 Sacred Music Institute Conference (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Save the dates for the 2025 Sacred Music Institute Conference, July 23-25, 2025. The theme for 2025 will be ‘Beautifying the World: The Vocation of the Liturgical Musician’.
The SMI will offer its fifth annual conference for priests and church musicians. The conference features keynote lectures, breakout sessions, choir rehearsals and sung liturgies in which all attendees will participate. This conference has become a popular event for those interested in renewing their parish music programs and is already bearing great fruit in the Cincinnati area and beyond.
More information will be announced at a later date.
You may also be interested in either the Fons et Culmen Sacred Liturgy Summit or the graduate classes offered by the Catholic Institute of Sacred Music (Menlo Park, CA).
Greetings, There will be an extended weekend choral symposium from July 3 - 6, 2025, at St. Peter’s Church, New Hamburg, Ontario, in the care of the priests of the SSPX. A number of distinguished faculty, including tenor & choral director Dr. Andrew Childs, countertenor & choral director Daniel Taylor, classical radio host & choral director Howard Dyck, bass-baritone Daniel Lichti, and others, will be present.
