St. Aidan's, St. James and St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Churches in San Francisco
Spend a week with All Saints Company exploring together different forms of congregational singing with and without instruments. Or pick and choose the sessions that interest you most. Join us on Sundays to experience the work in a worship context!
We hope that the diversity of workshops, forums and locations will draw you out to the beautiful San Francisco bay area, which you can explore in between sessions. By exploring different worship contexts and liturgical spaces, we together will explore finding new ways to renew the voice of song in our churches and groups. Register for one or all of the music workshops!
