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. Every
three or four years, the Tour Choir conducts a two-week
tour abroad in addition to its yearly activities.
The Tour
Choir also performs a "Homecoming Concert" at
Lycoming College after its spring break tour, as well as
appears during the Graduation Concert.
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 fifteen years, the Tour
Choir has visited New England, Chicago and the midwest,
Florida, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, and North and South
Carolina, and has flown to California four times.
In addition,
the Tour Choir has traveled abroad often: once to
Puerto Rico; once to Argentina; twice to England; twice
to Spain; and five times to central Europe, including Germany,
Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
The
Spring 2013 10-day tour includes performances in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, followed by a concert series in Puerto
Rico in early March.
