The Monks of Pluscarden Abbey offer a profound and timeless musical experience through their sacred Gregorian chants. Nestled in the serene glen of the Black Burn in northeast Scotland, Pluscarden Abbey is the only medieval British monastery still used for its original purpose, providing a unique and authentic setting for their spiritual music. The monks, hailing from diverse backgrounds including Nigeria, Australia, East Africa, Poland, England, and New Zealand, follow the Rule of St. Benedict, emphasizing prayer, manual labor, and community life. Their chants, sung in Latin, are a central part of their daily rituals and offer a sense of peace and tranquility to all who listen. With a rich history dating back to 1230, the monastery's chants are not just melodies but a living tradition that connects listeners to centuries of spiritual practice.
