How to start a Gregorian Chant chior?
Sorry, there’s no money in it. But here’s what I would do: First, find out if there are any churches in your area doing Latin, either Tridentine Rite or Novus Ordo in Latin. If there are, they probably already have a choir, and you can join that. If not, you need to tap into the local conservative Catholic network and see if you can start Latin masses somewhere (it’s easier now; Papa Ratzi rocks!). If you want to start such an ensemble as a concert organization, you’re better off doing it as a general Medieval/Renaissance specialist group, as you’ll do lots of chant that way (alternatim hymns etc.), but won’t have to sell a whole program of it. In either case (esp. the liturgical one) you’ll be dealing with volunteers. I sing sometimes at Immaculate Conception in Cleveland OH, which is an authorized Tridentine Rite church Some resources: http://www.musicasacra.com/
