Concert Chorale at St. Peters Church, Vienna
The Concert Chorale performs at St. Peter’s Church in Vienna, Austria in 2010.

From May 24-June 2, 2012, you can tour with the Concert Chorale and their family and friends as they visit Germany and Paris, performing six concerts along the way. This wonderful tour continues the tradition of the Concert Chorale performing internationally every even-numbered year, regaling audiences abroad and making new connections. In 2010, the Concert Chorale visited Austria, and in 2008, they toured Italy.

“The MSU Concert Chorale has toured nine times with Concept Tours in New York City, and always the tour is first class,” Dr. Guy Webb, Concert Chorale director, states. “Fine tour guides, city guides, and well-thought itineraries.”

The tour leaves the United States from JFK International Airport on Thursday, May 24, and arrives at Frankfort International Airport on May 25. You’ll visit the Hannover region and Rhine River Valley (including a Rhine cruise) in Germany, then spend four days in Paris. Other sites in Germany include Mainz, a sightseeing tour of Hamelin (the village known for the famous “Pied Piper” story) and Limburg. In Paris, you’ll see the Champs-Elysees, Place de la Concord, Versailles, the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, and the Louvre. In addition, you will hear the Concert Chorale entertain audiences at several venues including Minden-Hanover, Limburg, the Abbey at Lorch, La Madeleine Church in Paris, and Chartres Cathedral.
