Blest Be The Lord: A Celebration of Contemporary Catholic Music for Worship, Steve Rotello Ensemble

The Second Vatican Council ushered in many changes within the Catholic Church, not least among them being changes in the use of music in the context of the Liturgy. With the introduction of congregational singing came the opportunity for new forms of instrumentation, particularly the use of piano and guitar. The Liturgical Arts Festival of Springfield and St. Joseph the Worker Parish are excited to present this program of contemporary music from the Roman Catholic liturgical tradition, featuring musicians from Springfield and surrounding areas. Join us to celebrate over 50 years of joyful and inspired contemporary Catholic music.
