Trips

QCS at Church in the Rock, Helsinki, Finland

2007 - Tour of Helsinki and St. Petersburg

We were the first American Choir invited to perform in Russia at the International Singing World Festival. Enthusiastic applause greeted our performances in St. Petersburg at Capella Hall and St. Peter’s Cathedral and in Helsinki at the "Church in the Rock".

Quincy Choral Society at Saint Mark's in Italy

2005 - Tour of Italy

We sang in the splendor of St. Mark’s Cathedral in Venice at the 6pm mass. Italian audiences in Florence marveled at our Vivaldi "Gloria" and, in Stresa (Milan), loved our Gershwin and jazz selections. After the tour, several members did an extended tour to Rome.

Quincy Choral Society in Prague

2003 - Tour of Vienna and Prague

One of the highlights of this tour was singing Mozart’s "Ave Verum" in the choir loft of the church where Mozart composed the piece! Prague audiences were amazed by our performances at the International Festival of Sacred Music at the St. Nicholas Church.

Quincy Choral Society at a castle in Wales

2001 - Tour of Wales and Scotland

QCS performed a joint concert with the Cowbridge Male Voice Choir at Atlantic College, Porthcawl. We then traveled north to Yorkshire, England for a concert at Bolton Castle and finally to Greyfriar’s Church in Scotland as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Quincy Choral Society in Chenonceaux, France

1999 - Tour of France

Our tour began in the Loire Valley at Chenonceaux and finished in Paris. What a thrill it was to sing Fauré’s music at Chartres Cathedral! Parisians were "jazzed" by our Ellington selections and Bernstein’s "Best of All Possible Worlds" from Voltaire’s Candide.

Quincy Choral Society in London

1997 - Tour of England

John Quincy Adams was married in London in 1797...thus we commemorated the event on our first concert tour at All Hallows by the Tower. We then performed a concert at the Greenwich Music Festival hosted by the Mayor of Greenwich and two concerts in Bramham and Driffield. The former was at a parish church and the latter at a manor house as a benefit for British Cancer Research.
