Two wonderful Dominican Fathers and musicians, Rev. Innocent Smith, OP and Rev. Vincent Ferrer Bagan, OP, are conducting a Chant Workshop this June in New York State.
—Instruction in singing, teaching, and directing Gregorian chant
—Daily Sung Mass and Divine Office in the Main House Chapel
—Communal meals and accomodation in the beautiful Wethersfield House
—Full tuition scholarship for each student; $150.00 fee for Room and Board
Details and photos of the beautiful Wethersfield Estate, the Institute where the Workshop will be held, may be found here.
Both of the teaching friars were accomplished musicians before entering religious life, and have contributed greatly to the liturgical life of the Church and their Order through composition, musicianship, and editorial work. I am so pleased to see that they are now offering to share their expertise in this way!

Fr Innocent Smith also has some fascinating, (and accessible to the dilletante,) scholarly papers about matters liturgical, on Academia.edu, which I highly recommend.

I met Fr. Innocent at the Gregorian Chant conference at St. Joseph's Dunwoodie – and he was smart as a whip and also quite pleasant. Pretty good description of a promising teacher!
