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.

“No matter how large the band, orchestra or choir, each person in the group is still an individual with his or her own problems, successes and failures, strengths and weaknesses,” the 1994 graduate says. “The Alma music faculty got to know me, and all of us in the program, as individual people, and gave each of us what we needed personally to grow.”
