Fourth of July: Galway, Ireland
It was a lovely day in Galway, until, of course it rained. We had a great day with the friendly population, who all seemed to be aware of our presence, and looked forward to meeting our first Irish audience.

On of the great pleasures of touring Europe in the summer is singing in the fantastic acoustics of historically important churches from centuries we don't have at home. This one, St. Nicholas Collegiate, dates from 1320. Columbus worshipped here in 1477...

Chanticleer was founded to explore the beautiful and complex vocal music of the Renaissance. Perhaps the greatest composer of the period was Orlando di Lasso, known as “The Divine.” So respected was he, that over 2000 of his works survive to this day...

Your great reception reminds me of the enthusiastic greeting that the New Jersey Choral Society and numerous other groups received last summer in both Beijing and Shanghai, when we performed as part of the Pre-Olympic Cultural Arts Festival under the baton of Eric Dale Knapp. The audience in Beijing went especially wild when we sang parts of the "...

It was an amazing experience for our combined choruses - 540 voices strong.

Good luck with the rest of your tour! Keep the posts coming!
