In addition to frequent tours of the Northwest region, past concert tours have taken the ensemble to Europe, South America, Washington, D.C., Carnegie Hall in New York City and most recently, a concert tour of Austria, Germany and Czech Republic in 2010. They will be performing music by Bach, Vivaldi, Vaughan Williams, Rheinberger, and others.
