The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus Touring Choir is set to embark on an international journey, July 11-20. Under the direction of President and Artistic Director Darren Dailey, the ensemble will travel to Greece and Turkey, showcasing their musical talents on a global stage.
The Touring Choir will perform in Athens, Volos and other international destinations. Beyond the stage, choir members will explore the Greek Isles, including visits to Mykonos and Santorini.
In previous seasons, the Touring Choir has performed across countries such as Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland and Germany. These tours provide valuable performance experience and meaningful cultural engagement for participating members.
“I’m incredibly excited to experience the stunning sights in Greece,” said Maura, a member of the Touring Choir. “I've always been fascinated by Greek culture and mythology, so I’m especially looking forward to seeing the Parthenon and other historic landmarks I wouldn’t have the chance to see otherwise.”
This tour represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the young artists to grow musically and culturally. Community members are encouraged to support the chorus’s fundraising efforts to help cover travel expenses and ensure all singers can participate.
