HOW ARE THEY SIMILAR?

Rehearsals and performances are a given. We make time for recreational activities as well, including short hikes or swimming, visits to areas of cultural and historic interest and always a chance to pick up a special souvenir.

HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

Tours are scheduled over the summer months, spanning 1–2 weeks. A traditional public Tour Choir Send-Off Concert is given at a local venue a few days before the group departs. Touring itineraries typically include participation in a music festival or conference.  The Tour Choir aims to travel every other year, alternating between national and international events.  Larger tours begin planning at least 18 months in advance.

Mini Tours may occur during the academic year or over the summer break, with select singers over a shorter period of time. Mini tours are typically 2-4 days.  Mini tours may be planned within a few months.
