GERMANY, AND AUSTRIA

“The Chorale pulled the cold out of unheated cathedrals and wrapped the warmth of beautifully blended sound around each of us. This group demonstrated a depth of feeling and an expanded artistic awareness that many do not achieve in a lifetime.” —Dr. Thelma Hall, Professor of English, Shorter College (Rome, Georgia)

“Their performances were described as ‘magical.’ Ratledge memorized introductory speeches in Czech, Polish, and German which impressed everyone from the start; however, the Chorale’s deeply emotional performances evoked strong responses in every city. One concert lasted three hours before the group was allowed to leave the stage. The conductor of the Walbrzychu Philharmonic was so impressed that he has invited the Chorale to tour Europe with his orchestra. Seven formal concerts—simply stunning!” Suzanne Robbins, ACFEA Tour Consultants (Tarrytown, New York)
