Fr. Ralph March, O.Cist., of the University of Dallas, has joined the faculty of the Church Music Association of America for teaching at the XIX annual Sacred Music Colloquium, June 22-28, 2009.
Fr. March began his life as a young monk in Hungary, but was forced to flee the
country when the Communists took over the monastery. He served as the Cologne Cathedral Kappelmeister for two decades. He was editor of Sacred Music for years, and has consistently inspired students at UD with his knowledge of chant and amazing stories from his travels and teaching.
He will be directing the men's advanced singers. It is a great honor to have him.
In addition, Cardinal George of Chicago will celebrate Mass with the Colloquium choir mid-week.
