Sewanee Church Music Conference

Sewanee Church Music Conference The Sewanee Church Music Conference is one of the oldest gatherings of church musicians in America, founded in 1951.

This coming July the Sewanee Church Music Conference will again offer a week of study and worship with some of the most talented musicians and clergy in the Church. For 64 years this conference has been a leader in continuing education for church musicians. The opportunity not only to learn new skills and refresh old ones but also to share experiences and ideas with colleagues from across the coun

try is invaluable. The conference is located amidst some of the most picturesque and inspiring settings available. The DuBose Conference Center is an historic site located in Monteagle, Tennessee. Nearby is the campus of The University of the South where many of the conference activities take place. Venues include the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Chapel of the Apostles on the School of Theology campus and the Gothic splendor of the University's All Saints' Chapel-the setting for Friday afternoon Choral Evensong and the Festival Eucharist on Sunday morning. Lois Fyfe Music of Nashville will again fill the DuBose Library with organ and choral music for perusal during the week, and traditional Southern hospitality will be evident with receptions, BBQ, and the conference banquet.

SCMC 2026 | Day Five Recap

Big day! Our first public worship service went swimmingly. We enjoyed our first of two VILARTS. And we laughed until our bellies hurt at the Frolic. We've only got two more days with our mountain family, and we're going to make every moment matter.

SCMC 2026 | Day Four Recap

Rehearsals, reading sessions, and organ recitals, oh my! What a busy day! Our days are sadly winding down in this beautiful place. Tomorrow, we participate in the SCMC Evensong service at All Saints Chapel, and the annual Frolic is upon us. We are so grateful to be together this week, making music and fostering community.

SCMC 2026 | Day Two Recap

What a wonderfully full day of music making. Rehearsals, sectionals, the Holy Eucharist, and an organ recital by one of our talented clinicians, Bruce Neswick.

Tomorrow brings a Sewanee tradition of the Wednesday Mass for the Departed. Lots of emotions will be had tomorrow, so if you think of us, send up a little prayer.

The family is all together again. Today, we welcomed everyone back home, started music in our first rehearsal, worshipped during Compline together, and spent quality time at the opening reception.
