The Lycoming College Tour Choir Conducted by Dr. Fred Thayer, the Choir has been widely acclaimed as one of the finest college musical groups in the East. Since its inception in 1947 by Walter McIver, the Choir has presented concerts in every state east of the Mississippi River, California, Canada, Puerto Rico, Europe, and Argentina. The Choir had a ten-day tour in Argentina in May 2010. Foreign tours occur approximately every three years. The Tour Choir is selected each year by competitive audi-tion from the 120-voice College Choir, which is comprised of students from all academic fields. Approximately 40 students are chosen annually to perform in two weekend tours and a ten-day spring break tour.

Lakeland, Seminole, Bradenton, Palm Harbor, and Celebration. In its six decades of music, the Lycoming College Choir has performed hundreds of concerts including appearances at the National Cathedral, the Washington Shrine, the Crystal Cathedral, Coral Ridge, and New York City’s St. John the Divine and Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. The ensemble has sung with the Gregg Smith Singers, the Chief-tains, and Barry Manilow. The choir has been featured twice in the Holiday Celebrations at the White House. This spring, the choir is releasing its ninth CD, “My Spirit Sings.” The Choir’s repertoire con-sists of both religious and secular music, ranging from contempo-rary to traditional. The Choir performs for all musical tastes, from listener to critic. The public is invited to hear this fine concert that offers all music lov-ers an enjoyable experience.
