What are the Catholic Music Awards?<\/h2>\n\n

The Catholic Music Awards are a new international event that aims to recognize and promote Catholic music and the artists<\/strong> who create it. They wish to highlight and encourage musicians and their work<\/strong> within the Catholic community, celebrating the creativity<\/strong> of composers, singers, musicians, producers and sound engineers who contribute to evangelization through music. <\/p>\n\n

The goal of the Catholic Music Awards is to unite faith and culture, supporting the Church’s evangelizing mission through music, while fostering an international network of professionals and enthusiasts<\/strong>, open to exchange and collaboration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

When and where were the Catholic Music Awards held?<\/h2>\n\n

The awards event took place on Sunday, July 27, in the Auditorium Conciliazione, in Rome, at the start of the Youth\u2019s Jubilee. During the evening, the awards ceremony opened with a live performance<\/strong> by Gen Verde of their song We Choose Peace<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

“It was both an honor and a joy for us to take part in this event, and we are deeply grateful for the awards we received. They serve as a meaningful source of encouragement and support after many years of tireless work\u2014work that demands great energy, as it goes far beyond simply creating music. For us, it\u2019s about living authentically, putting into practice the very values we express on stage, and allowing our music to reflect the life we strive to live”<\/em>, words of Nancy Uelmen (singer and composer from the United States).<\/p>\n\n

On this note, Adriana Martins (a singer from Brazil) adds, \u201cThis effort is rewarded by the fruits we witness\u2014not only in the young people we work with during our artistic workshops, but also in the diverse audiences we encounter at our concerts, events, choral workshops, sung Masses, and beyond\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
