Singing tours abroad are greatly enjoyed by all those who go as they provide a professional singing experience, taking a prepared concert on tour and delivering it in famous and impressive venues.  We also have loads of fun sightseeing and making foreign friends!

Recent tours:

• August 2009 and 2010 to Edinburgh, with three concerts as part of the world famous Fringe Festival.

• July 2006 to Koblenz (Germany) with concerts in Cologne cathedral, and other venues in the Rhineland.

• August 2003 to Paris, with concerts at Eurodisney, Notre Dame cathedral and the church of La Madeline.

• July 2001 to Bruges (Belgium), with concerts in Ostende, Furnes, Ghent and Brussels.

• July 1999 to Springe (Germany), including a concert at the British Army base in Hannover.

• July 1997 to Valkenburg  (Holland), with concerts in various venues around the region.

• July 1995 to Springe (Germany), as a return exchange visit with a German youth choir, with concerts in Springe, Hameln and Hannover.  Our trip to Hamlin is where the choir got its Pied Piper logo from!!!

Each year, the choir generally has a few days away together at a Youth Hostel location in Britain.  These trips have a completely different atmosphere to the tours, as the emphasis is on rehearsing and improving the choir.  Here, members to get to know each other better, enjoy activities together and give a concert at a local venue, often from music learnt only during the week!
