These seminars are going to explore some of the main Christian faith traditions, imported and genuine to the USA. Come and hear about the first American hymnals, composers, and musical heritage in American churches.
Classes are held on the lower level of the Cathedral in the St. Cecilia Chapel.
Lunch with the presenters follows each class.
