Last Monday, we took part in the international scientific conference “Liturgical music yesterday, today and tomorrow – faithfulness to tradition, the need for renewal”, organized by the Pontifical University of John Paul II as part of the 16th Church Music Days in the Archdiocese of Krakow.
In the second part of the conference, entitled “The Present”, Father Dr. Dominik Jurczak from our Foundation, a lecturer at the Anselmianum and Angelicum universities in Rome, gave a lecture entitled “Liturgical cacophony? On selected problems of the liturgy”. The leader of this part was Father Dr. Dawid Kusz OP..
