NOWLEDGE IS POWER—at least for the conscientious choirmaster! By popular demand, Jeff Ostrowski has spent six months creating a video seminar based upon innumerable lectures, masterclasses, and tutorials he’s presented over the last decade at the Sacred Music Symposium. Mr. Ostrowski, an organist and choirmaster, was already internationally-known as a composer before the age of thirty. He founded—and still organizes—the annual SACRED MUSIC SYMPOSIUM in Los Angeles. You’re cordially invited to read the glowing reviews by participants of this event, more than a hundred of which have been posted on its website. (They were submitted by choir directors across the globe.) To those who assisted him, Mr. Ostrowski wrote this note.

Examples
Jeff’s Volunteer Choir
Jeff Ostrowski selected all his singers from among the congregation. In other words, 100% of the singers he directs came from families in his parish. His choirs contain zero “outside” singers, zero non-Catholics, and zero paid singers. Many members had never sung—in any choir—before he recruited them to sing at Mass.
