A three (3) day conversation intended to establish The Costen Institute Branded Perspective on the value of Traditional Music in Black Church Worship.  We will assess the current state of Black Church Music priorities that have fueled the drift from that value system, as well as provide informational resources to the gathered community in matters of Worship Leadership and Preparation. 

 

The Symposium is designed to serve as a lightning rod for those inspired by this subject of conversation, with the intentions of fostering Cohort Relationships and Worship Resource Networks with and among those who gather.
