That same year, she won
the Choral Conductors Prize at the International Bach Festival in San Moritz,
Switzerland. Romano-LaMorte came to Colorado in 1978 to spend the next four
years on the music faculty at the University of Northern Colorado. Moving to
Denver in 1982, she became active as a violinist in area orchestras and music
festivals. In 1991, she accepted the invitation to become Director of Liturgy
for the Archdiocese of Denver. In 1993, in addition to forming the Musicians of
Saint Clare, Romano-LaMorte was Liturgical Director for Catechesis for World
Youth Day. Since 1996, the Musicians of Saint Clare has been an independent
non-profit corporation. The Choir maintains a busy yearly concert schedule, as
well as international tours and pilgrimages, including Christmas 1999 in Saint
Peter’s Basilica, Rome, for the opening of the Jubilee Year 2000, in the
presence of His Holiness Pope John Paul II, and Easter 2002 at the Vatican. In
November, 2003, she prepared the Musicians of Saint Clare for a performance of
the Mozart Requiem in Rome, under the direction of Paul Salamunovich with the
St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Other international engagements have
included a concert in the Sistine Chapel, and a concert for the Festival of
Music and Sacred Art, in Rome. From 2000-2006, Romano-LaMorte held the podium of
the Golden Concert Choir, a civic chorale dedicated to the performance of major
classical choral works for the community of Golden and surrounding Jefferson
County, Colorado. She lives in Golden, Colorado, with her husband, Andrew
LaMorte, who is a tenor in the Musicians of Saint Clare.
The Musicians of Saint
Clare was founded in 1993,
in preparation for the VIII World Day, when Pope John Paul II visited Denver.
After participating in that great event, the Choir began a schedule of concerts
and liturgies in America, as well as regularly scheduled concert tours and
pilgrimages to Rome, Assisi, and northern Europe. The Choir typically gives
four concerts yearly in Colorado and the United States, and frequently tours
internationally. Today, the Musicians of Saint Clare is a non-sectarian,
ecumenical (faith-based) choral performing organization.
