Festival Alleluia James Chepponis with Philip Stopford 

On November 18, 2012, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia held an Archdiocesan Choral Festival and Blessing/Convocation for all the parish choirs and musicians in the Archdiocese. There were over 200 singers from all around Philadelphia, including me and many members from the choir at my parish, The Church of St. Andrew in Newtown. It was fantastic, but especially wonderful as the Archdiocese hired a guest conductor - Philip Stopford, who is a very successful and important contemporary composer of sacred Christian music. Here we are singing James Chepponis' Festival Alleluia.
