South Florida Schola

[The following was sent to me by a reader.]

A new men’s Gregorian schola is forming in West Palm Beach , FL. Dr. Michael O’Connor, musicologist at Palm Beach Atlantic University, will be leading the group, whose purpose will be to learn to sing chant in Latin and English. The goal will be to serve those churches in the Diocese of Palm Beach that request our services. This is an exciting time in the diocese with 2 new Tridentine Masses planned in addition to the existing celebration in Jensen Beach . Rehearsals will commence once a minimum number of 6 singers are recruited. No experience is necessary. We will be using the Marier/Turkington A Gregorian Chant Masterclass as “text” to learn the basics. Interested men should contact Dr. O’Connor at moconnor09@comcast.net.
