"The Great White North Tour" of 2009!

Recent newspaper articles are describing record low temps and high snowfall in all of the states we'll be visiting on tour - we're calling this one "The Great White North Tour" of 2009! Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota in February can only mean excitement, right?!

With only 11 rehearsals until we step on the bus, we're beginning to make swift progress in rehearsal towards refinement and memorization of our repertoire. Josh Tyson, one of our tenors and a music education major, commented yesterday in rehearsal that we're singing 12 concerts in 8 days. He's already using his teacher mentality and looking ahead to the enormity of the finished product!

This group of 32 is the largest Chamber Choir I've ever toured with - one of the tenors is my son, which is rather special, too. They're talented, energetic, and motivated. I am certain that our openness to the moving spirit of God will provide opportunities for music and connection that will amaze us all in the weeks to come.
