Our first tour of 2025 was the 125 year old Wellesley College Choir who have just returned from an 8 day tour to Prague, Czech Republic with visits to Dresden and an opera at the Semperopera, Terezin, Kutna Hora and Jindrichuv Hradec. Three beautiful concerts, ( two in Prague), with excellent and full houses, and two choral collaborations made for a fulfilling tour. Grateful to Lisa Graham for an excellent program that combined her expertise on music in Terezin as well as several American contemporary songs. Appreciate Scott Tucker for stepping in for part of the tour due to an emergency.
