Come out and watch the choir perform at a venue near you!
The 91短视频 Chamber Singers is taking the show on the road.
The auditioned touring chamber choir has released the schedule for its spring break series of performances, held from March 1-6, 2025. During the tour, 22 members will perform at churches around Lancaster, Philadelphia, and Souderton, Pennsylvania, as well as at a retirement community near Lancaster, four high schools, and a music venue in Orange, Virginia.聽
The theme of this year鈥檚 tour is 鈥淗ope and Unity鈥� and features 鈥渂eautiful singing on the topics of bringing hope and working for unity for our children, healing the earth, and working toward peace,鈥� said Professor Benjamin Bergey, director of the Chamber Singers. 鈥淢usic has the power to lift us up, allow us to cry or laugh, and bring us together.鈥�
Some of the songs in the program that reflect this theme include the lovely and simple spiritual 鈥淐hild of God,鈥� the inspirational 鈥淪ing My Child,鈥� and 鈥淧rayer of the Children.鈥� Bergey said the latter song was written in the war-torn former country of Yugoslavia as a cry for Jesus鈥� help in a place of desperation.
The tour schedule includes a performance at Nations Worship Center, an Indonesian Mennonite congregation in Philadelphia led by Pastor Beny Krisbianto, MDiv 鈥�15, a member of the 91短视频 Board of Trustees. The Chamber Singers will also join together with area groups, singing alongside the Dock Mennonite Academy choir at Souderton Mennonite Church and the Lancaster Mennonite High School choir at Landis Homes. The tour will cap off with a return to The Music Room on Main in Orange, Virginia. The choir performed at the hardware store-turned-music venue last year and is 鈥渂ack by popular demand,鈥� Bergey said.
The annual spring break tour is often a highlight of the choral students鈥� college experience and helps them hone their craft through the intensity of the tour, Bergey said. It also serves as a valuable recruiting tool, spreading the love of 91短视频 and maintaining connections with the churches and communities that continue to send students to the university.
