SUMMARY:Tune Writers Colloquium 2027 - Online
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to once again offer an online colloquium for tune writers. 2027’s session will be led by Ana Hernandez. The colloquium will be in two parts\, with the first being more presentational on the art of tune-writing and the second a chance to receive direct feedback from the clinician on your tune in progress*. \n*Each participant will be asked to submit ahead of time an unpublished tune\, preferably with a suggestion of an appropriate existing text. \nDates: April 20 and April 22\, 2027 \nTime: 3:00-5:00 pm ET \nPrice: $40 (members) or $50 (non-members). \n Don’t forget to also check out this year’s Online Text Writers Colloquium! \nClick To Register \n\n \nAna is a composer/arranger\, workshop facilitator\, theomusicologist\, songleader\, and author. She travels around collaborating with groups small and large to deepen community and create beautiful liturgies in many different styles. She facilitates meaningful conversations using the Art of Hosting modalities. Ana’s work aims to bring each of us to a sustainable place in terms of showing up\, being present\, and listening generatively\, so we can remember how beloved we all are. \nAna has made eight recordings and is the author of: The Sacred Art of Chant: Preparing to Practice. She also helps individuals to find their voices and use sound as a way to get and stay integrated. Her retreats and workshops are filled with laughter\, expanding comfort zones\, and tunes that stick\, so when the world is an unholy mess\, you’ll have the right tool to accompany you as you walk along the way. Workshops are suitable for any age\, and intergenerational groups are often illuminating for everyone in attendance. \nLife is beautiful\, but shorter than you think. Show love now.”  – Ana \n
