St. Mary’s, Norwalk is pleased to offer this exciting opportunity for students of all ages to learn about Gregorian chant, the music par excellence of the Catholic Church, and the basis of all sacred music.
Classes this year will focus on the antiphons, psalmody, and modes of the Divine Office.
There will be daily Mass, lunch, and recreation time, with separate sessions for beginners and intermediate/advanced students.
The students will sing for the noon Mass at St. Mary’s on Friday, August 27th, and again for the 9:30 Solemn Latin Mass on Sunday, August 29th.
Both students with significant schola experience and those just beginning will benefit from Chant Camp. The only prerequisite is the ability to read English fluently. Attendance is required each day of the camp. Students should bring a bag lunch each day.
The fee is $50 per child / $100 per family for registered parishioners of St. Mary’s, and $70 per child / $140 per family otherwise. Scholarships are available; no child will be turned away because of financial hardship. Parents must register their children, by phone or e-mail, by 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 22nd.
