Conference on Blessed Karl of Austria and Premiere of Mass Composed by Paul Jernberg - Washington DC, October 18 - 20

Here is a reminder and more information on what promises to be a fantastic occasion in DC later this month. Paul Jernberg, a good friend of the Scala Foundation, is the composer of the music for the Mass for Blessed Karl that will premiere at this conference told me: 

The idea for this new composition, and for this conference, began with my "coincidental" meeting with the great-grandson of Blessed Karl (aka Charles 1 of Austria - the last emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) a couple of years ago. The more I read about him and his wife, Zita, the more I was inspired by their radiant model of great leadership - characterized not by the desire for power but by the pursuit of wisdom and a faithful, self-sacrificial love for his people.
