2010 Tour Dates, June 15-29, 2010
The Lutheran Youth Choir of North America is pleased to announce a new visionary initiative beginning in 2010, building on the choir’s first three successful tours to the Great Lakes States and Ontario, the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, and to Germany. This exciting new venture – an annual Instruments of Peace Tour – will offer young people from across the United States and Canada opportunities for musical and spiritual development through the choir’s unique music ministries here in North America and abroad. Singers need not be members of a Lutheran denomination to participate. The Lutheran Youth Choir’s Instruments of Peace Tour 2010 will be to the East Coast, including New York City and Boston. Following five days of intensive rehearsal and fun at the choir’s home congregation in the western suburbs of Chicago, the students will depart on an eight-day tour, singing the choir’s own new Service of Evening Prayer for Peace premiered on the 2008 Germany tour, supplemented with sacred choral literature of various styles, at several host churches on the East Coast. The choir has also been invited to sing for the weekly Jazz Vespers service at St. Peter’s Lutheran in midtown Manhattan. In addition, participants in the 2010 tour will receive a generous discount on the choir’s next international tour in 2011. More about this soon. - Philip Spencer, Founding Conductor |
