SONGS ACROSS THE PACIFIC: FROM AMERICA TO NEW ZEALAND
Join us on a musical journey "Across the Pacific," as the Michigan Tech Concert Choir embarks on their concert tour to New Zealand! With a diverse program that traverses spirituals, folk songs, bluegrass, and unique arrangements of traditional Polynesian songs, this tour is more than just a concert series — it's a bridge over the continental and cultural divides. Each performance brings communities together, celebrating the universal language of music and shared human experience. Embracing the spirit of giving, entry to these memorable evenings is by Koha, with all proceeds benefiting Music Helps. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a moving experience where every note sung, and every cent given, contributes to the shared greater good!
Founded in 1980 at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, MI, USA, the Michigan Tech Concert Choir is currently directed by Dr. Jared Anderson, whose leadership gracefully guides the choir as they bring to life the classics alongside the contemporary and draw in audiences through their love and passion for music. The Concert Choir thrives on its rich performance history grounded in creating cultural connections through music – a specific focus on each of their extensive international tours.
