Among this summer’s opportunities to learn Gregorian Chant, one of the most promising is also one of the most inexpensive.
The Dominican Fathers are once again providing a Gregorian Chant retreat on the beautiful grounds of Wethersfield Institute in New York State. The suggested donation to cover retreat expenses is just $200, and includes meals and lodging as well as classes, daily Mass, and the Divine Office, from Monday-Thursday, June 25-28.
Both friars are experienced organists, choral singers, and church musicians and have sung and led Gregorian chant together as Dominican friars for the past nine years. Their work can be heard on the four albums of sacred music (Christ Was Born To Save, Gaudeamus, Ave Maria, and In Medio Ecclesiae) produced by the Dominican friars during their time as students at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C.
