    The Portsmouth Gregorian Chant Course 2026 is delighted to announce that Abbot Xavier Perrin OSB, the esteemed Abbot of Our Lady of Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight, will be joining its team of teaching experts. Abbot Xavier brings a wealth of experience and spiritual depth to the programme, deepening the course’s commitment to nurturing both musical skill and spiritual understanding in Gregorian Chant.

  • The inclusion of Abbot Xavier Perrin OSB highlights the course's commitment to the 'spirit' of the music as much as the technique. It is rare to have access to such high-level monastic expertise in a cathedral workshop setting. Truly a highlight for Portsmouth in 2026
