For its 15th anniversary tour the Chorus will sing in three Baltic countries with great choral traditons: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Tour dates are July 18-31, 2013.  Tour and rehearsal aterials available in the Members Only section.

The Chorus co-hosted the Yale International Choral Festival in New Haven, June 19-23 2012.  Performances and master classes with the Central Conservatory of Music Choir (Beijing), Manado State University Choir (Indonesia), Imilonji Kantu Choral Society (South Africa), and the Cambridge University Chamber Choir (England).

The 2011 Celebration Tour took the Chorus to Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia, June 14-28, 2011. The first concert in Istanbul joined the Chorus and the undergraduate Yale Glee Club, which was celebrating its sesquicentennial with a European tour that ended in Istanbul. The Chorus then flew to Georgia to hear the very special sounds of the traditional music of the region and perform with local choruses such as Basiani, Rustavi and Gori Women's Choir. In Armenia the Chorus was hosted by our longtime friend Constantine Orbelian, whose intimate knowledge of the country and its music added to the very special character of this tour.

On the 2010 Cantemos Tour the Chorus visited Havana and Matanzas Cuba June 26-July 5, performing with the Coro Nacional de Cuba and the Orquestra Solistas de La Habana. 

For the 2009 Voces Unidas Tour the Chorus toured Guatemala and Mexico.  They organized a children's choral festival in an indigenous area of Guatamala, sang Mozart's Coronation Mass with the MileniuM Sonfonietta of Mexico City, and gave concerts in Puebla and San Miguel de Allende Mexico.
