| Reverend Clarence Joseph Rivers,
preeminent pioneer in the movement to enliven Roman Catholic
liturgy by bringing to it the gift of African American musical
expression, is the namesake of the Clarence Rivers Music Institute.
The institute is held the day prior to the start of the Lyke
Conference, July 9, 2008. It will provide opportunities for
composers, choir directors, singers, accompanists, and others
involved in the ministry of liturgical music among African American
Catholics to come together in a variety of ways. It is a forum
in which they can share their gifts, their expertise, and the
exultation that comes from making music to the glory of God.
Registration by May 29, 2008, is $50 per person, which includes the Lyke Conference
music pack. The fee does not include meals or a Lyke Conference
t-shirt. On-Site registration is $75. (Click
