Wednesday the 6th November 2024 was the truely history in the making. The first intake of students took part in the first lecture of the first course Animating Liturgy launched by the Academy of Sacred Music Francesco Azopardi.
The Academy is offering a variety of courses designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of individuals involved in music ministry within the Archdiocese of Malta and the Church.
The courses for the academic year 2024-2025 include also The Organ in the Liturgy, intended for organists already serving or planning to serve in parishes and wishing to strengthen their knowledge of the organist’s ministry (starting in February 2025); the Christian songwriting programme Ħarbex (starting in January 2025); and Singing during Liturgy for priests (starting in May 2025). The courses are offered in collaboration with the Pastoral Formation Institute.
Starting in February 2025, the Academy will also introduce an intensive Choral Singing for the Liturgy course aimed at children aged 7 to 14. Applications for this course are now open. Please visit this link to apply.
