In the Heart of the City

Peace to all who visit here!

Happy New Year!

On Saturday, January 25 at 5:15 p.m. our very own Schola Laudis will be joining the monks for Solemn Choral Vespers for the Solemnity of the Conversion of Saint Paul, Apostle of the Gentiles.  In addition to the traditional Gregorian chant sung by the monastic community, the Schola will be singing the two-part motet Domine probasti me (“Lord, you search me and you know me…) by Orlando di Lasso.  They are also going to sing the proper hymn setting by Palestrina and a Mode 8 Magnificat setting by di Lasso.

We present this beautiful music in its proper liturgical setting. Join us for an evening of reverent beauty at the “acoustically superb and architecturally significant Monastery of the Holy Cross.”
