here is great anticipation and excitement about the fourteenth annual Good Shepherd Institute conference scheduled for November 3–5, 2013. I hope that you have already received a conference brochure with topics, presenters, and the schedule. If you have not and wish to receive one, please contact Annette Gard at 260-452-2224. There is indication already that many are eager finally to have this open conversation about musical choices and discernment in the church.
The format for this conference will be somewhat different from past years. We will begin by hearing our four presenters give their perspectives based on their An OpentoConversation on Music in the Church expertise. After hearing those statements, the conference participants will be encouraged Achoose Look at the Elephant in the Room submit their questions to be discussed on Tuesday by the presenters. Dr. Just and I will questions to be addressed by all four, and those questions will allow the conversation to begin. In the final session, Dr. Grime, Kantor Hildebrand, Dr. Just, and I will join the presenters, and we will invite your questions from the floor as the open conversation continues.

The All Saints Choral Vespers will help celebrate Paul Bouman’s 95th birthday (August 26), with the Schola Cantorum singing his sublime SATB setting of “Kyrie! God Father in Heav’n Above.” They will also sing J. S. Bach’s THE GOOD SHEPHERD INSTITUTE Cantata BWV 8, “Gracious God, When Wilt Thou Call Me?,” with chamber Fourteenth Annual Conference orchestra, as well as Edgar Bainton’s (1880–1956) “And I Saw Another Heaven,” November 3–5, 2013 with its glorious organ accompaniment. The powerful Begrӓbnisgesang, op. 13, Theological Seminary @ Fort Wayne, Indiana Concordia the 1858 burial hymn setting by Johannes Brahms, will also be sung. This is truly an amazing work that gives hints throughout of his later Ein Deutsches Requiem, op. 45 (1869). The new director of the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir, Jonathan Busarow, grandson of Donald, will bring his high school women’s choir to lead our Monday afternoon Choral Evening Prayer. A highlight of our annual conference is the Monday evening Hymn Festival with Kantor Kevin Hildebrand at the Kramer Chapel organ. This year’s theme is “Through the Church the Song Goes On,” drawn from the hymn, “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name.” The Seminary Kantorei will sing, and this year we add the Fort Wayne Concordia Lutheran High School THE GOOD SHEPHERD Chamber Choir under the direction of Tavis Schlicker.
