Musical artist
The Chorus Paulinus or CHOPA is a choir in the Philippines. It is known for its a cappella-style blending of voices that creates a sound reflective of its high choral standards.
Arnold Zamora (born February 10, 1961) is a Filipino musician from Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines who has carved for himself a name in the national music industry as a singer, composer, arranger and conductor. As a seminarian at the UST Central seminary, he founded the Psalterion Choir. At the University of the Philippines, he joined the Philippine Madrigal Singers or MADZ and is the founder of the Chorus Paulinus.[1] He is also the founder and music director of the Singing Priests of Tagbilaran.[2]
He currently works for the Archdiocese of San Francisco in San Francisco, California, United States.[3]
