European Tour - July 2007 Memories of Our Trip |
Click on picture for high resolution version
In July 2007, a group of Choral Arts Society of the Upper Perkiomen Valley (CASUPV) singers, some additional guest singers, and their families travelled to Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic for a combination good-will concert series and vacation.
Our two-week tour began with a flight to Frankfurt, Germany. We then travelled south-east into Austria, then north-east into the Czech Republic. Our tour then headed north into the former 'east zone' of Germany. The final leg of the tour found us heading back towards Frankfort with a quick loop just west of the city for a day cruise down the Rhine River. Once back in Frankfort, we boarded our return flight for home. (A detailed itinerary and map links can be found on the Trip Reference page.)
Along the way, we performed several concerts (and sang a few impromptu pieces in the beautiful European cathedrals). The concerts were a mix of formal and casual venues. On occasion, we combined our talents with local singers in 'Friendship Concerts'. But it wasn't all singing... there was still plenty of time to enjoy the rich heritage of the areas we visited!
We would like to thank the committee members for their work and dedication. Their efforts made this trip a huge success! The Trip Committee: Camille Marion, Angela Vaughn, Mark Thomas, Dick Lampe, Richard Freed, and Lew Phillips.
