Marshall, MN - The New Ulm Diocesan Office of Worship is sponsoring a Liturgical Musicians Workshop on Saturday, November 5 at Holy Redeemer Parish, Marshall. The presenter is Jeanne Cotter, a liturgical musician and inspirational speaker as well as a successful secular and spiritual performer and recording artist. The workshop, entitled "The Empowered Singer" will focus on the ministry of leaders of sung prayer in worship, including cantors, song leaders, choirs and presiders.

Cotter, originally from Minnesota, has written and recorded numerous liturgical music collections with GIA Publications and OCP. She is the author of the highly acclaimed text, Keyboard Improvisation for the Liturgical Musician (GIA). She has been active as a "team member" for the North American Forum on the Catechumenate and has been the master teacher and coordinator of the Keyboard and Ensemble Schools for the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM). In addition to concerts, ministry workshops, parish missions, retreats, convention keynotes and breakout sessions, Cotter conducts "Coming Home Retreats".

Cotter will present a concert at 7:00 p.m. that evening to conclude the workshop. Those wishing to attend the workshop will need to register in advance. The concert, however, is free and open to all. Contact Ann Przybilla, (507) 359-2966; email: aprzybilla@dnu.org
