National Catholic Youth Choir 2005
The National Catholic Youth Choir is a liturgically-based choir open to Roman Catholic youth entering 10th - 12th grade. The conductor of the choir is internationally renowned choral clinician Dr. Axel Theimer. Fr. Anthony Ruff, O.S.B., a monk of Saint John’s abbey, is the founding director of the choir. The program takes place each summer on the beautiful wooded grounds of Saint John's Abbey and University in central Minnesota. What is unique about the National Catholic Youth Choir is its liturgical focus. The singers learn about the Catholic liturgy and how the treasury of sacred music (Gregorian chant, Palestrina, Mozart, Bruckner, Poulenc, Duruflé...) fits in Catholic worship today. The choir also sings contemporary and newly-written music, some of it specially commissioned for the NCYC. What 2004 Choristers Said about NCYC 2004
