Clergy/Organist dinner and panel discussion

Panel Discussion for Clergy and Organists

Clergy and congregations are expecting music in worship to speak to the contemporary world. How can church musicians adapt beloved traditions and training involving the organ and choir to the sound world of today, dominated by guitars, synthesizers and percussion? And should they?

Panelists--area clergy and church musicians--will give their thoughts on music in worship and their observations on experiences where worship and music have collaborated in inspirational ways, both new and old.

We hope that lively discussion will stimulate listeners and church music leaders in their search for music fitting for today’s worship. Sunday, January 22, 2012, Time: 7:00 PM
