Sacred Music Festival

Davis Organ The Sacred Music Festival, held annually at the end of October, is designed to be both a celebration of performance of sacred music, and a chance for the audience to fully participate in congregational song. Inaugurated in 2001, the Sacred Music Festival involves numerous ensembles from the School of Music, including the Concert Choir, the Community Chorus, and Sine Nomine. Lorne Manweiler is the featured organist. Starting in 2002, the event was held at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music using the new Davis Concert Organ and it welcomed the Council of Edmonton Lutheran Churches as a sponsor. In 2004, the program was offered at the Jack Singer Hall in the Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts in Calgary, in addition to the one at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music in Edmonton.

This year's Festival, titled "Saints of God: Featuring the music of Latin American Saints", features special guests internationally renowned choral conductor Maria Guinard from Venezuela, as well as church musician William Ramirez from El Salvador.
