Cabrini Shrine – Gregorian Chant: The Canonization Concert

The Majesta Chanters present a re-creation of the chant and other music used at St. Frances Cabrini’s canonization in 1946. This candlelight concert is an annual favorite!

This candlelight concert of the music from Mother Cabrini’s canonization ceremony includes Ambrosian and Gregorian chant, along with choral pieces composed especially for the occasion by the director of music for the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel Choir, Monsignor Lorenzo Perosi.

Join the Majesta Chanters for an outstanding evening of serene chant and glorious song.
