The Schola Cantorum of Florida Pro Musica

The FPM Schola Cantorum has performed a concert of Gregorian Chant during the season of Advent for the last six years. Presented in concert form, rather than a liturgy, listeners can sit and absorb the meditative sounds of Gregorian Chant in the visually and aurally magnificent setting of Sacred Heart, leaving behind the noise and hectic pace of December at the shopping malls. These concerts have become a tradition at Sacred Heart, and draw a capacity audience. The Schola also presents these concerts in other venues in Florida. Tampa Tribune Photo.

Our 7th annual concert of Gregorian Chant is on Sunday, December 20, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart. The FPM Schola, a small male ensemble, will perform Mass for the 4th Sunday of Advent. Hear Latin sacred music as it may have sounded 1,000 years ago. The 45-minute concert is followed by a reception in the parish hall.
