CY Programs on Tour!

Touring, whether it be regional, domestic, or international, offers transformative experiences to our Singers. Touring is optional, by invitation based on commitment, and costs additional monies beyond tuition. Limited tour scholarships are available. Every effort is made to ensure that every Singer who wishes to tour internationally can do so at least once during their career with CY, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

Most choirs tour. What makes CY different is how we tour.  We personalize your experience.  While we always offer exciting sightseeing experiences on every tour, what makes touring truly memorable is not what we do, or where we sing, but for and with whom we sing.  When we toured India, we travelled with Gandhi’s grandson. When we toured Vietnam and lived with local families in Hanoi, the US Ambassador to Vietnam called it an historic event given the history of the two countries. When we last toured South Africa, we spent a week in residence in the township with the Lesedi Choir and performed jointly at the Soweto Theatre. We toured Germany and the Czech Republic with a Holocaust survivor, Inge Auerbacher, tracing her steps from birth to transport to Terezin Concentration Camp. With every step she gave our Singers a first hand account of her experiences those young people will never forget.

Our ensembles have performed on tour at Carnegie Hall in New York City with The Philadelphia Orchestra, in the Manaus Opera House in Brazil, the Hanoi Opera House in Vietnam, and the Petronas Philharmonik Hall in Malaysia, as well as in venues throughout Appalachia, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, Monaco, France, Germany, Austria, and Bulgaria, Norway, England, India, New Zealand, and Tasmania, the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Uruguay, Argentina, Sweden and Spain. In December 2009, some of our Singers embarked on a concert tour of Chile as an official part of the country’s 200th anniversary celebrations. The concert tour included an excursion to Chile’s Frei Base on King George Island, Antarctica. There, choristers sang for scientists from five countries, giving CY the distinction of bringing the choral arts to the seventh continent for the first time. In doing so, we made history as the first choral organization to have sung on every continent.
