“… One of my life goals is to help the Church bring back the beautiful musical gems of the past in order to aid worship at Holy Mass. I’m hoping to serve the Church throughout my life by composing lots of new music and by playing solo Bach and other sacred music at Mass. I would really like to attend the colloquium this summer in order to gain a better understanding of the rich musical tradition of the Church so that I can add to it in a more meaningful way. I am asking for a scholarship because, as a student, I have very limited resources and would not otherwise be able to attend. Thank you so much for consideration and God bless you!”
There have been many requests just like this one for scholarship aid this year. The CMAA needs donations to allow us to give scholarships to applicants like this one to the Sacred Music Colloquium this year in Indianapolis. There are many more people who would like to come, but do not have the funds.
Registration for the Colloquium is still open. If there is some way you can make a donation to the cause, be it $10 or $500, your generosity will be much rewarded: with renewed hope, beautiful liturgy, and a more promising future for sacred music.
Write to us if you can help, or make a donation to colloquium@musicasacra.com through Pay Pal. No gift is too small. All donations are tax deductible.
