The Joy of Church Choirs

The Church has played an incredibly important part in the history of choral music: the Mass to oratorio, spirituals to gospel, timeless hymns and a plethora of new compositions. It has given the world some of the most beautiful melodies and heavenly choruses. What would Easter Sunday be without Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus?

“ The choirs that have traveled with us at Encore Tours have sung at some of the most wonderful cathedrals in Britain, Spain and Peru. They have also participated in choir festivals and brought some of the best of anthems written by American composers to a global stage. ”

Here at Encore Tours, we pride ourselves in working with some of the finest church music programs in the country: Christ Church in Cambridge, MA, First Congregational Church of Bellevue, and Chapelwood United Methodist Church in Houston. These choirs have sung at some of the most wonderful cathedrals in Britain, Spain and Peru. They have also participated in choir festivals and brought some of the best of anthems written by American composers to a global stage.

I have a passion for church music and for the community of the church choir. There are different expectations with this kind of ensemble— perhaps a spiritual dimension, a journey into the history of a particular denomination, or to participate in worship with another faith community in another country. Whatever your desires are, we will do all we can to meet those needs.
