Greetings, Floriani faithful!
We spent most of March on the road, singing for Masses, running workshops, and performing in six different states: Colorado, Ohio, Montana, Missouri, Alabama, and South Carolina. With Poland just over a month away and a few other domestic trips coming up, we are using our precious time at home to be with family and friends, and to prepare for our massive summer plans.
COLLEGIUM
This July 25-August 2, Floriani will be hosting its first Collegium, a hands-on music experience for musicians interested in immersing themselves in the liturgical practice of Gregorian chant and sacred choral music. Hosted on the gorgeous campus of our alma mater, Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, CA, students will be placed at the meeting point between the theoretical and practical. They will receive the valuable experience of preparing, singing, and even conducting choirs in the context of the sacred liturgy, AND they will come to know why sacred music is essential for liturgical and cultural revival.
CHANT CAMP
But that’s not all we are cooking up… As we’ve done the past three years, we will hold our annual Chant Camp for Children in Phoenix, but this time, we will also be holding one in Steubenville, Ohio! Those who have attended in the past will know how enriching this camp is, and we hope to see many familiar faces in addition to all the first-timers. More info on these is included below.
We ask you to consider if there is anyone you know who might be interested in this incredible experience, and to pass on this information to them!
LUCE LAUNCHED
Towards the end of March we released LUCE, a compilation of rarely heard Gregorian chants in honor of the Jubilee year. Here's what people are saying:
Haven't yet listened to Luce? Check out the entire album below, along with the beautiful translations of these ancient texts.
POLAND PILGRIMAGE
There are still a few spots available for our trip to Poland. If you've been feeling the call to adventure, now is your chance to answer it!
FLORIANI ON HALLOW
Our album Chants of Deliverance is finally on the popular Catholic prayer app, Hallow. You can now enjoy listening to our acclaimed collection of Gregorian chants for spiritual warfare on the Hallow app!
WISHLIST:
NEW CASSOCKS: $1000
Floriani is finally graduating from our neophyte altar boy cassocks into bespoke cassocks made by St. Elizabeth Convent in Belarus. Our cassocks will look incredible with beautiful handmade embroidery upon a light black wool. The St. Florian cross will be embroidered on our cuffs. The cassock itself will be a blend of Greek, Russian, and Roman style reflecting our love and devotion to the many rites of our Christian heritage. Become the patron of Floriani's new uniform!
