Susan Hellauer, singer, teacher, researcher & founding member of the renowned vocal ensemble Anonymous 4 will lead a Chant Camp on Saturday & Sunday, October 4-5, 2008 at St. Paul Roman Catholic Church in Cambridge MA.

Two Chant Camp sessions are offered; each session is limited to 30 participants.

• Saturday, October 4, from 9:30 AM-5 PM

Chant Camp is a participatory program of chant singing, structured around a number of carefully-chosen plainchant topics. Each topic presentation begins with a brief informative illustrated lecture, followed by plenty of group singing, to illustrate & permanently “set” the lesson. The day’s workshop ends with a communal chant singing, combining elements of the day’s work, along with extensions and improvisations based on the day’s material.

Fees: Notebook & materials included; refreshments available.
$95 Saturday, October 4 9:30 AM-5 PM Lunch break, lunch not included.
$60 Sunday, October 5 1:15-5 PM
