    Is each session open to all participants, or is it restricted to just certain members?

      Hi Mark, we are happy to welcome all participants to any session they desire to attend. We do, however request that you stick to one choir during the workshop and not to hop from choir to choir. This helps the directors with balance and sound. Thank you.

    Dear Friends,
    Peace!
    I’m wondering what i can participate in since I will arrive~9AM and leave ~4pm on Saturday. I surely will attend the Clergy sessions. I need to learn more about how to keep our schola on pitch. Also at 77 with hearing aids for the last year, I’m wondering about how to use my own voice, how to sanctify my diminishments, as Dom Mary Basil used to say.
