2023-2024 Tours
International Competition and Touring is the centerpiece of the Choir program. Decades of experience have shown that choir tours provide an unparalleled opportunity for young students to broaden their understanding of the people and cultures of the world and, in the process, they strengthen their relationships and learn about themselves. Since 1982, our choirs have toured and performed in 13 states and 26 foreign countries, participated in nineteen choral competitions in Europe, Asia, and North America and brought home twenty-five awards, including numerous Gold Medals, First Prizes, and Grand Prizes. With your support, we can continue to make sure our singers continue this core choir tradition.
Concert Choir will tour to Charleston, West Virginia, for the Appalachian Festival of Young Voices! This will be PEBCC’s first time attending the festival. Our singers will have the opportunity to work with the world-renowned Dr. Rollo Dilworth. He is an active composer, conductor, and clinician. Sought after to conduct festivals, all state, and honor choirs, he is also an award-winning composer. Along with working with Dr. Dilworth, the 4-day event will immerse our singers into the music and culture of the Appalachian Mountains.
Ensemble travels to England and Wales, starting in the picturesque university city of Cambridge with The Girls’ Choir of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge. Ensemble will then make its way across the UK on the way to Wales, stopping for an exchange with the choir of Sutton Coldfield and finishing with a return to international competition at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales.
In order to bring costs down for families and ensure every voice is heard on our tours, PEBCC has launched a series of tour fundraising opportunities. We hope you will join us in supporting these amazing global youth music ambassadors in these transformative experiences!
