Regina Pacis Cantorum: Here We Go Again, But In A Good Way

Here We Go Again, But In A Good Way

Twenty years ago, the Enigma dance song "Sadeness" (correction: that was 23 years ago) and the Benedictine Monks Chant CD put chant back into the spotlight.

Today, it looks like chant is once again back in pop culture. The Wall Street Journal features the Benedictines Of Mary, Queen of Apostles nuns, whose chant (and English) CD has topped the Billboard classical charts for five straight weeks. Oddly enough, it's holding off a classical album based on 50 Shades of Grey. (I'm with you: "Huh?")

Here's the WSJ article: The Nuns At The Top Of The Charts

Singers Wanted

Regina Pacis Cantorum is always looking for Northern Nevada men and women interested in singing a cappella Latin chant and polyphony. We are open to all voice parts, but we are especially looking for sopranos and basses.

You do NOT have to be Catholic or have any prior chant experience, and we'll help you learn! We sing at both Extraordinary Form and Novus Ordo Masses, and rehearse on Tuesday nights.

Why sing chant at Mass? Let our director, Kathy Reinheimer, tell you why.

If interested, please contact Kathy at the number or e-mail below. Also contact Kathy if you're interested in having Regina Pacis Cantorum sing at your parish or church in northern Nevada or the Lake Tahoe area.
