As a musician, you have accepted the unique call to Beauty, one of the core attributes of God Himself. Through your gifts, you co-create with the Divine Creator, expressing His voice and affecting the heart - and soul - of your listeners.
Instead of supporting you in that vocation, how often do you find the field of music pulling you away from the Creator? It says you need to be obsessed with perfection. Hostile to faith. Glorifying success.
Here, we glorify God.
At The Hildegard Collective, we are challenging the mentality of the modern-day music industry. You can be a musician and a person of faith, and we achieve that by forming the whole musician - body, mind, and soul.
Imagine if there was a place where you could not only grow in formation as a musician, but also grow in harmony with other musicians of faith.
That’s the place we’re creating here at The Hildegard Collective.
No matter what kind of musician you are, there’s a seat for you. Church musicians, music educators, singer/songwriters, operatic and orchestral musicians, music therapists, amateur musicians - genres and specialities aside, we share a common love of music and Christ and seek to encourage one another in this unique vocation.
We invite you to come and see what we're up to!
Over the last few centuries, the development of music has slowly been separated from its Catholic roots, and with it, the field of music has become self-seeking, hostile towards faith, and separated from its Creator.
That hostility, coupled with a lack of opportunity for Catholic musicians to connect, creates an isolating experience for musicians of faith and impedes collaboration.
Until now.
Here at The Hildegard Collective, we seek to revive the never-aging Transcendental of Beauty through music. Armed with our instruments and love of Christ, we are offering our gifts back to Him, banding together to change the industry and the world.
Here’s how we mean to do that:

We can’t create change alone. Our community of Catholic musicians will strengthen one another and inspire the fellowship imbued in us by the Creator.
Before inspiring others, we need to first be inspired. Our workshops and trainings deepen musicians’ faith in conjunction with (not at odds with) their gifts.
Finally, by working together, we can support one another in executing collaborative and innovative new creations that glorify God.

From our own formation, we can then take the lead in creating music of all genres to spread the Beauty of God in the world.
We are composing the new Catholic Renaissance, and we want your contribution. Join us inside The Hildegard Collective!
Do you struggle to find musicians who treat this calling like a vocation and not just a career? Are you constantly feeling like you have to disconnect your faith life from your musical life? Have you struggled to defend the faith when hot topics of today’s culture arise in secular music environments? If so, The Hildegard Collective was made for you!
As part of our mission, we believe that all musicians deserve to take ownership of their instruments, careers, and communities, so we are honored to provide free resources for your development, including our blog and the Little Sparks Podcast.
If you wish to go deeper, the heart of the Collective is in fostering our membership, which provides a space for Catholic musicians to connect and collaborate, and quarterly training seminars to increase your faith in conjunction with your musical gifts - all for just $10 a month. Keep an eye out for this – we'll be launching it soon!
