A visit to Europe—The Birmingham-Southern Concert Choir recently completed a four-city tour of the Czech Republic and Austria. Conducted by Joseph Hugh Thomas Professor of Music Lester Seigel, the choir performed May 30-June 3 at churches and venues in the cities of Prague and Pilsen in the Czech Republic and in Vienna and Eisenstadt in Austria, including a performance for the U.S. Ambassador, officials of the Czech government, and foreign press at the historic Clam-Gallas Palace. Their program featured works by Czech, Austrian, and American composers. Pictured above, the choir poses just prior to its performance in the Karlskirche, a historic 18th-century church in the center of Vienna. In the photo below, students stand in front of St. Nicholas Church in the Old Town Square in Prague, alongside a poster advertising the concert there.
