GREGORIAN CHANT WORKSHOP
Saturday 28 February 2009, 11.00 - 18.00
______________________

A reminder of the chant workshop which will take place
on Saturday 28 February at Christ Church Cathedral Dublin.
Due to the last minute indisposition of Eamon Manning, we're
delighted that the acknowledged chant expert, Nick Gale has
agreed to lead the event. He is director of music at St George's
cathedral, Southwark, and head of academic music at the
London Oratory School.

The day will conclude with vespers sung by course participants
and Christ Church cathedral choir. Please make the event
widely-known and feel free to pass on this message to anyone
you think would be interested in this fascinating subject.

Cost: 20 Euro per person
(RSCM members 15 Euro per person).
