Over 140 musicians came together at Catholic University of America from June 19 to 24 to learn from and to perform with experts and be immersed in the Catholic Church's Gregorian chant and polyphony. The 2007 Colloquium of the Church Music Association of America doubled in size from 2006. Due to lack of space, organizers had to reluntantly turn away potential attendees for months. Advertised as Six Days of Musical Heaven, the event lived up to its billing. A heavenly time was had by just about everyone.
