♪ Notes of Joy Choir Festival - Rome, June 2015 with Greg Gentry

Nothing changed my life quite like the concert tour I took to Europe with my high school ensembles when I was 16!

This fuels my enthusiasm to lead the Notes of Joy Festival in Rome in June next year. Imagine singing Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica, joining with other choirs for the combined literature at one of the grand churches in Rome and presenting your own concerts as you wish.

I would like to help create this opportunity for you and your choir – or a number of your singers if the full choir cannot join us – to experience what I did all those years ago.

Join with me as we create music and memories to serve you a lifetime.
Please RSVP KIconcerts

Can you consider joining our France festival? An invitation from Mary Breden

Dear choral friends

My choir from Loyola Marymount College is joining with a select number of other US choirs to stage a summer 2015 choral festival in Paris.

In addition to our gala concert in the La Madeleine, and our proposed concert in the Cathédrale Saint-Louis de Versailles, are opportunities for additional individual concerts. We will tour Paris and my choir is heading North to pay our musical respects to the fallen at Normandy while one of the other choirs is heading South to the French Riviera for their extension tour.

I would be pleased if you would consider joining us in France on this great Parisian musical adventure.

Répondez s'il vous plaît RSVP KIconcerts
