Description

Works by Six Living Catholic Composers with Martin Baker conducting the Sacred Music Project Choir Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity in Menlo Park to participate in the ongoing Catholic renaissance in sacred music, this July 1 at 7:30 pm at the gorgeous St. Patrick's Seminary Chapel. Martin Baker, past President of the Royal College of Organists, and former Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral will fly in from London to conduct the 50 voice Sacred Music Project Choir, featuring choral works by five up and coming American Catholic sacred music composers, from the Benedict XVI Institute's composer-in-residence Frank La Rocca to our youngest composer the 24 year-old Xanthe Kraft. Composer Mark Nowakowski has created a violin and organ piece "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" Music directors be aware: a free folio of these works will be available and the composers have agreed to waive the license fee in the event you would like your own parish choir to sing this music for the Mass. Hospitality follows in the Seminary library, amid beauty ever ancient ever new. Join us for a celebration of sacred beauty: the high Catholic sacred music tradition lives!
