October 2014 - Vol. 1, Number 3

Welcome to the e-newsletter of the Center for Church Music. This newsletter intends to keep you informed of the Center's current and projected initiatives, along with news and events. 

Having been to the Center for Church Music I can tell you that it is a wonderful and interesting experience. There are countless books, music and composer's manuscripts to be explored - one cannot experience it all in one visit. More music and books are coming. 

The Center for Church Music's website is a primary resource that offers videos, essays, and much more. The site is ever-expanding. Be sure and check the site often.  


Please forward this newsletter to musicians, clergy, students and friends who are interested in church music. This will enable people to subscribe.

The Center for Church Music is located on the second floor of Klinck Memorial Library on the Concordia University Chicago campus.


Want to schedule a visit to the center? 

Please make arrangements beforehand by contacting Barry Bobb or Steven Wente. 

October 19-22
See you there!
