Ensemble Organum

WELCOME TO A SACRED CHANT WORKSHOP & VESPER SERVICE WITH ENSEMBLE ORGANUM.

CHANT WORKSHOP

Join us for an afternoon filled with ancient chant and musical connection. This workshop is perfect for anyone wanting to deepen their practice of chanting and explore the power of sacred music. Whether you're a seasoned chanter or a complete beginner, this event is open to all. Join like-minded individuals to experience the transformative power of sacred chants from across the medieval world in a welcoming and supportive environment. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the magic of music and community.

VESPERS SERVICE

Following the workshop, participate in a sacred service of Vespers — the Liturgy of Evening prayer or Vespers — as it would have been performed in Notre-Dame.

The Liturgy of the Hours is an unbroken tradition from at least 600 CE, originating in Jewish rituals. It consists of set chant, readings, and prayers at fixed times throughout a day. Christians of both Western and Eastern traditions (including the Latin Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian, Lutheran, Anglican, and some other Protestant churches) celebrate the canonical hours in various forms and under various names.

Ensemble Organum will perform the Vespers of the Virgin in a medieval style that was used in Notre-Dame and will incorporate chant, incense, and sacred readings.
