Scala is pleased to announce that we are partnering with the New York Encounter 2027 to bring Sir James MacMillan to speak before thousands of people in New York City about music, faith, creativity, and tradition!
The exact time is TBD, but the event will be the weekend of Feb. 13-14, 2027, in Manhattan:

Scala’s Executive Director, Margarita Mooney Clayton, will introduce Sir James MacMillan, and he will discuss his incredible musical creativity inspired by his Christian faith, which she wrote about in her book When Mary Calls. She will also describe Scala’s collaboration with Sir James to commission a Way of Beauty anthem, a short musical piece he composed, that encapsulates our mission in music and poetry.
Following a discussion on music with the organizers of this event called the New York Encounter, both Margarita Mooney Clayton and David Clayton have been invited to do book signings of their respective books, When Mary Calls and Musica Domestica.
We hope to see you in Manhattan! If you can’t attend in person, the event will be live-streamed and recorded.
