The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, live a monastic life on a secluded farm near Kansas City, Mo. Music is a major part of their life: They sing together eight times a day as part of their schedule of Vespers and Divine Office, lifting their hearts to God through music.
Their latest recording, Lent at Ephesus, recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard classical chart, selling 8,160 albums in its first week of distribution, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
And now PBS has announced a television special, "Lent At Ephesus," to be shown on selected stations in March and April. Filmed and edited entirely by De Montfort Music and the Sisters themselves, the program gives viewers a rare glimpse into their music-making and monastic life inside the Priory of Our Lady of Ephesus.
The program will air on stations including Kansas City's KCPT on March 2, Chicago's WTTW on March 16 and New York City's WNET on April 6.
