Diocese of Sioux Falls to Sponsor Chant Camp for Children and an Intro to the Pipe Organ for Junior High and High Schoolers

.

If a geezer like me can learn some chant, it should be a piece of cake for your kids who sing rock music at the top of their lungs around the house.

July 12-16, 10:00am – 3:00pm

A week-long day camp for Catholic children, ages 7-13, exploring the basics of Gregorian Chant in a fun and prayer-filled environment. The students will discover the beauty of ancient psalm-tones and Gregorian melodies and sing the Holy Mass every day while being challenged in the areas of music theory, composition, and conducting.

St. Joseph Cathedral School, 523 N. Duluth Ave. Sioux Falls, SD
