Second European Tour
Even though the Capella as a choir was receiving triumphant reviews, personality conflicts between Koshetz and Prykhodko led to a split. In the fall of 1920, Prykhodko and 20 members of the Capella returned to Czechoslovakia. However, Koshetz received further funding from Petlura, and Koshetz recruited Ukrainians living in Poland to the Capella.
The new Capella toured France, Spain, and Belgium.
