Tour
Welcome! Although the bulk of Women’s Voices Chorus activities occur right here in the Triangle, every five years or so we aim to take an international tour. Here you will find links to our tour travelogues and photos.
The goal of these trips is fourfold: (1) To appreciate and understand women’s choral traditions across the globe. (2) To bring American music to other locales. (3) To give us the unique opportunity to combine travel and music making. (4) To enhance group cohesion and help us make better music together.
In August, 2024, WVC will be traveling to Ireland. We will be singing for the morning worship service at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney and performing concerts at St. Mary’s Church of Ireland in Killarney, the Collegiate Church of Saint Nicholas in Galway, a senior center in Galway, and at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Along the way we will be seeing sights such as the Dingle Peninsula with a sheepdog demonstration, Muckross house and Gardens, the Cliffs of Moher, the Killbeggan Distillery, and Dublin Castle. Follow our Facebook page and check out our photo album as we sing our way across Ireland.
In July 2017, WVC traveled to the Baltic States—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—for our second international tour. We performed concerts in St. Catherine’s Church in Vilnius, Lithuania; St. John’s Church in Riga, Latvia; and the White Hall of the House of Blackheads in Tallinn, Estonia. We also had a few impromptu performances in such locations as the Latvian National Opera and the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds! Check out our Travelogue: Baltics Tour Travelogue
In July 2012, after more than two years of planning, the chorus embarked on a tour of Hungary, Slovenia, and Italy. We performed concerts in St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest, St. Nicholas’s Church in Ljubljana, and St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, among other venues, and explored musical and cultural landmarks in each city.
