As part of their latest Faith Renewal series of events, Knock Shrine
will host a workshop for choirs on Thursday 9 March from 7.30-9.30pm in
the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
This practical workshop will be
facilitated by the Irish Church Music Association (ICMA) and will be of
benefit to choirs who will have the opportunity to learn more about
sacred music in liturgy throughout the liturgical seasons.
The ICMA, founded in 1969, supports the work of musicians working in
the field of liturgical music in Ireland.
Through training, publication
and dissemination of information, the ICMA strives to improve standards
and encourage musicians in their service of God and the community.
The
ICMA is supported by the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference and is based
in the National Centre for Liturgy, St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, Co.
Kildare.
All choirs are welcome to attend the workshop. Attendance will cost
€10 per person, and booking in advance is essential.
