Due to factors outside the church's control, the chant workshop previously announced on NLM to be held at the Church of the Assumption in Nashville, Tennessee is now scheduled for November 14 to 16, 2025, beginning at 6 PM on Friday evening, continuing on Saturday morning and lasting into the afternoon, and concluding on Sunday with the chanted Mass and Vespers and Benediction.
It will include instruction from br. Mark Bachmann, osb, choirmaster of Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma. The weekend will offer something for both the musical novice or those new to singing chant as well as more advanced singers and will include both celebrations of the Holy Mass and of the Divine Office.
The parish would like to make this a regular feature of our calendar, as we continue to celebrate the restoration of the parish church and its reopening on Laetare Sunday earlier this year.
The modest fee of $60 covers lunch and the cost of printing the book.
Alas, Matthew tells me that the rescheduled date is not possible either, so the workshop in Nashville will have to scheduled again, at least some months away.
