The Tour Choir is selected each year by competitive audition from the 115-voice College Choir, which is comprised of students from all academic fields. Approximately 40 students are chosen annually to perform with the Tour Choir each year. During our tours, the choir visits and collaborates with high school and volunteer choruses in addition to its performing schedule. This type of educational outreach is central to the choir’s goal of creating a greater sense of community among all levels of music education. The choir’s repertoire consists of both sacred and secular music ranging from classical standards, new works by contemporary composers, as well as folk, world music, and modern styles. This year’s Tour Choir concert features many members of the Lycoming College Music Department in addition to the choir. Our young department is thriving and we hope that through the variety of our programming and the quality of our faculty and students you will enjoy our offering to you.
