Welcome!

Canticle is a volunteer organization comprised of classical musicians who wish to use their gifts and talents to reach out to the community. Instruments we use include harp, handbells, various woodwinds and strings, voice, and piano.  We serve senior centers, long-term and transitional care facilities, hospitals, and Covenant Hospice in Pensacola and surrounding areas.  Canticle is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity (click for details).

We wish to extend special thanks to Gonzalez United Methodist Church for allowing us the use of their 3-octave set of Schulmerich handbells and bell equipment.  Handbells are a huge part of what we do, and they so generously make that possible for us.
