About Will
His
Story
Will Strassberger is a native of North Florida. He attended Keystone Heights High School and graduated as Valedictorian in 2016. For the next two years, Will studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Florida. It was during this time that he sought refuge from the intense course load and started writing instrumental music for relaxation.
From 2018-2022 Will became a seminarian of the Diocese of St. Augustine, studying to be a Roman Catholic priest at St. John Vianney College Seminary and St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary. During his time in formation, Will completed a B.A. in Philosophy, graduating summa cum laude, and studied Theology at the Master’s level. He took a particular interest in composing for the Schola Cantorum--the fruits of his liturgical composition include Mass settings, motets, hymns, and other pieces of sacred music.​
​
Currently, Will teaches Religion and assists with liturgical music at Bishop Kenny High School. In his spare time, he cantors at his home parish of Assumption Catholic Church, serves as the Bass section leader at Lakewood Presbyterian Church, sings with the Jacksonville Symphony and other ensembles in North Florida, and composes sacred and secular music.
