On Friday, April 5 the St. Bonaventure's College Chamber Choir will be the featured guest choir during a private mass in the Melk Abbey church at 10 am. Among the world's most famous monastic sites, the Benedictine Abbey at Melk was originally a palace built between 1702 and 1736. It is located on the banks of the Danube River and adjoining the Wachau Valley, Austria.
The Abbey contains the tomb of Saint Coloman of Stockerau, as well as the remains of several members of the House of Babenberg, Austria's first ruling dynasty. A highlight within the Baroque abbey complex is the church, which was built around 1702 and featuring striking frescoes.
