The ELCIR Church Music Committee/Guild is developing a website for church cantors, which will address music ministry in ELCIR congregations, share materials on Lutheran musical heritage, and serve as a venue for church cantors to exchange music scores and teaching materials.
Guild Head Marina Väisä is working on a 4-voice accompaniment for the hymns in the 2013 ELCIR Hymnal. During two years, the accompaniments will be made available and downloadable from the website.
In spring 2022, the ELCIR Theological Institute plans to sign a cooperation agreement with the church music department of the Sibelius Academy in Kuopio, Finland.
Contact Darya Shkurlyatyeva at https://vk.com/shdarja for more info on work plans in the area of church music.
Please keep the music ministry of The Church of Ingria in your prayers that it may be enhanced and that cantors and musicians’ groups can be in contact with each other and work together.
