The
Lycoming College Tour Choir
is a college choir that performs regularly in the United
States. The choir is based at Lycoming College, which is
a four-year private college in Williamsport, Pennsylvania,
USA.
The Tour
Choir is a ensemble of about 40 students who are selected
by audition each November. The Tour Choir begins rehearsals
in January, and its annual tour schedule includes two weekend
tours and a 10-day concert tour over spring break. The Tour
Choir also performs a "Homecoming Concert" at Lycoming
College after its spring break tour, as well as appears during
the Graduation Concert. Every three or four years, the Tour
Choir conducts a two-week tour abroad in addition to its yearly
activities.
Like the
other Lycoming choirs, members of the Tour Choir are students
from every academic field and major. Members are chosen for
their abilities to be cooperative and dedicated as much as
for their musical talents.
Since
the Lycoming Choir's inception in 1947, the choir has
toured in many parts of the United States during its annual "spring
break" tour. In the past twelve years, the Tour Choir
has visited New England, Chicago and the midwest, Florida,
Georgia, and North and South Carolina, and has flown to California
three times.
The
spring 2008 tour will be in Florida, with a few additional
stops in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. In addition,
the choir will again perform at the famed Coral Ridge Presbyterian
Church, home of television's Coral Ridge Hour.
In addition,
the Tour Choir has traveled abroad ten times: once to
Puerto Rico; twice to England; twice to Spain; and five
times to central Europe, including Germany, Poland, and
the Czech Republic.
In
May 2007, the choir traveled to Germany, the Czech Republic,
and Hungary, making stops in Wagenfeld, Berlin, Leipzig,
Pardubice, Prague, and Budapest.
