"Opera Connects" is a new artistic partnership between the opera programs of Loyola University New Orleans and Xavier University of Louisiana. Both schools have made substantial contributions to the distinguished operatic legacy of our city. The inaugural concert will take place in February 2022, and will showcase faculty and students from the two institutions in performance of vocal music by three centuries of Black composers.

Join us for this online conference about Catholic social teaching (CST) and sisters' creative and collaborative leadership for integral human development.

All presenters are Catholic sisters in Eastern and Southern Africa. They have earned the Loyola University New Orleans Certificate in Theology & Ministry and Certificate in Catholic Social Teaching through participation in two projects, Catholic Sisters in Partnership for Sustainability and Living Charisms for Sustainable Human Development, both funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation's Catholic Sisters Initiative.

Chanticleer is back! 

The GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer has been hailed as “the world’s reigning male chorus” by The New Yorker, and is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its wide-ranging repertoire and dazzling virtuosity. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto, Chanticleer quickly took its place as one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world, selling over one million recordings and performing thousands of live concerts to audiences around the world.
