The Liturgical Music Institute offers musical, liturgical and pastoral formation for both new and experienced liturgical musicians. Over the course of five and a half days, participants take a ten-hour liturgical theology course, skills workshops (organ, voice, cantor, choral conducting, music theory or music composition) and plenum workshops that focus on specific pastoral dimensions of liturgical music ministry. They also attend spiritual conferences, sung Morning and Evening Prayer and daily Mass and interact with the faculty and other liturgical participants from around
the United States to share ideas, concerns and best practices. The week culminates with a choral concert featuring the faculty and participants of the Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
