Much Love For The Choir

We've posted a few songs from IHM's Lenten concert, and we would be remiss if we didn't take a moment to acknowledge all the wonderful singers and musicians who came together to make that night possible.  The IHM choir, the schola singers, the ensemble musicians, and the solo instrumentalists all did such a wonderful job on relatively short notice, and it was their time and talents that really made that night the beautiful evening of prayer for our parish that it was.  It's an impressive list of talented people that participated, as you can see below.  A word of special thanks goes to Bob Gillespie and Jeff Brugger for making these recordings so that we have them to share with you now.


Finally, we'd very much like to thank Jeff Bush, IHM's Director of Liturgy (and choir director), for his help that night and for his continued support of this aspect of our music ministry.  It's probably not too presumptuous to say that he is our toughest critic and our biggest fan, and we are very grateful for both of those aspects of his encouragement.


And now without further ado, the musicians, singers, and technicians who helped make the IHM Lenten concert possible.  Thank you again!
