2012
Year-long World Tour
In 2012, 22 choristers aged 12-72 began three months of rehearsals in Canberra on New Year’s Day. This was followed by a two month tour of Eastern Australia, and a five month international tour through Taiwan, China, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, France, Spain, England, Scotland (Orkney), and India. The connections made on this tour both locally and internationally were to greatly influence future participation and tours, especially drawing interest from Taiwan, China, and India.
