Albany Chapter NPM 

We are an affiliate of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians. With the support of the Music Sub Committee of the Albany Diocesan Liturgical Commission, we work to foster education opportunities for our pastoral musicians in the Diocese of Albany. Through our events and network of musicians, we build community and offer support to meet the liturgical needs of the Diocese.

We encourage you to contact us and let us know how we can help you in your ministry. For membership please contact Richard Putorti.

*NEW* 

NPM National has recently changed and revised their membership tiers to include all those who are a part of music minstry. Please see the graphic below and check out the NPM National website (www.npm.org) for more details. 

BASIC MEMBERSHIP: This entry membership level provides educational and networking support both locally and nationally.  Perfect for clergy, cantors, choir and ensemble members and all who take part in liturgical song and pastoral ministry. A great and affordable way to get acquainted with the association.

Annual Basic Membership Fee: $39 

STANDARD MEMBERSHIP: The Standard level of membership is the Basic level...plus so much more! Of great value for organists, pianists, instrumentalists, and choir directors who want to dig deeper into their roles as pastoral leaders. This level presents a great opportunity to take advantage of the incredible knowledge of our renowned print contributors and program presenters while learning more from fellow pastoral musicians at both the national and local level. 

Annual Standard Membership Fee: $119

PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP: The Premium Membership Level includes all NPM programming! Our top tier of membership is created specifically with the needs of the parish music directors, diocesan leaders and liturgists in mind. In addition to all Standard Benefits, programming at the premium level provides opportunity for academic and spiritual growth, as well as invaluable opportunities to network with other directors and those in church leadership.

Annual Premium Membership Fee: $169
