"Ancient Spirituality, Living Voices:" Registration Open for Vladimir Gorbik 2014 Master Class Series

Registration is now open for Maestro Vladimir Gorbik’s Master Сlass series, which will take place from June 30 to July 3, 2014 at St. Tikhon’s Seminary in South Canaan, PA.

In addition to learning superb sacred choral literature and honing participants’ vocal and conducting techniques, this PaTRAM Master Class and Musical Retreat will focus on the role of the church musician in the spiritual life of a community and the spiritual challenges in the work of a church musician. How does church singing affect our spiritual life? Is there a difference between praying in church and singing in church? How do we approach the spiritual difficulties we face as church musicians?

Youth ages 12 and up are invited to participate, if accompanied by a parent.

After the program, participants are invited to an optional pilgrimage to nearby Taylor, PA, for a private visit to venerate the two myrrh-streaming icons of the Mother of God at St. George’s Carpatho-Russian Church.
