The 体育买球官网 University Choir and Chamber Singers, under the direction of Amy Voorhees, will explore new territory on their annual Spring Break tour in early March 2020.
The kick-off concert will include a performance of traditional choral music at the Basilica of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Danville, Pennsylvania, followed by stops in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, areas.
