Performing in the World: Chorus and Orchestra Performance London
Music tours always combine a number of objectives: the opportunity to grow musically thru multiple performances of the same repertoire, the opportunity to interact with local artists and students, and the opportunity to participate in educational tourism and learn about historic sites and landmarks. On this tour, Andover students will play two concerts (of repertoire they will perform on campus pre-tour), and will tour historic sites such as Stonehenge, Bath, Tower of London, etc. Tentative plans are in place to interact with members of the London Symphony, as well as to see performances by that world-class orchestra and/or performances of Broadway musicals in London's famed West End theater district.
