This Week's Banner
Rob Lehman and the Rev. Blake Sawicky with members of the Girls' Choir at the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) summer course in Newport, Rhode Island. The RSCM was founded in England in 1927, and exists both to train singers for excellence in sacred music and to be a source of Christian renewal in the lives of the musicians and parishes which it serves. The Newport course is hosted by St. George's Episcopal School (chapel shown), Salve Regina University, and other local parishes and institutions.
