The ensemble tours annually: this year with performances in New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The choir also tours internationally, with recent excursions to Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and Canada. Since 2000 the group has toured four times to Nicaragua, adopting a service-learning model that combines performance with immersion in the local culture.<\/p>\n
