Music at Old Saint Joseph's
We periodically highlight some examples of fine music programs around the country.
The following items represent the liturgical and choral presentations for Lent, Paschal Triduum and Eastertide at Old Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia PA.
[Visit their website at www.oldstjoseph.org] Tony Corvaia is Pastoral Assistant for Liturgy, while the Director of Music Ministry is Matthew Glandorf, assisted by Eric German.
The choral music is prepared and sung by four groups, sometimes singly, sometimes together: Schola Cantorum, Loyola Choir, Ensemble "In clara voce" and Junior Choir.
