James MacMillan visits Notre Dame with support from the Nanovic Institute for European Studies.
Join us for three days of creativity, connection and debate around the issues of composing and performing sacred music today.
The festival conference will feature composer and guest lecturer James MacMillan, in residence to attend the premiere of his new motet “Cum vidisset Jesus,” with a panel of other distinguished composers, conductors and scholars.
We invite composers and conductors of sacred music to share their work in the choral readings, discuss aspects of composing and commissioning, and to engage in the panels and workshops. We also welcome performers and church musicians to enjoy and learn from this extraordinary encounter.
