Alma Choir Overseas

ALMA COLLEGE CHOIR

OVERSEAS

The Alma Choir tours abroad in May of every other year.  Since beginning this tradition in 1998, the Choir has taken six overseas tour.  We just returned from our 2008 Italy tour.  In 2010 we plan to return to Scotland. 

 

ITALY TOUR
In May 2008 the Alma Choir traveled and sang in Italy for two weeks. The first week was spent in Rome rehearsing and performing the Mozart Requiem with the Choir and Orchestra from Roma University Tre.  The Choir then traveled north to the Medieval town of Assisi and the magnificent Tuscan city of Florence and Milan.

More than a third of all Alma students take part in at least one performance each year. The College offers majors in theatre, dance and music, but students of all majors may join in productions. The Remick Heritage Center for the Performing Arts is the region's premiere performing arts facility.
