Catholic liturgical music is serious, solemn, transcendent, but Catholic musicians are never more fun and inspiring than when they are talking about what they love most. This is what happens at sacred music events around the world: the social and intellectual are critically important elements. The musicians (and music enthusiasts) at the Chant Café, a project of the
Church Music Association of America, bring that sense of life and love to the digital world. As St. Augustine said, "Cantare amantis est."

At 2:16 – is that Cardinal Burke?
I would assume this is from last year, as Cardinal Burke is wearing the cassock and biretta of an Archbishop.
He could also follow the old custom of not wearing cardinal's red during Lent.
It is from 2010. If you go to the Youtube site and press "Show more" it says that it is from 2010.
Technically Tucker never said it was THIS Ash Wednesday.
