As many students head home for Touring Break (a short break between January Interim and the start of second semester), Gustie musicians will head out on their annual music tours. The Gustavus Choir will be tour in the Southwestern United States, and the Gustavus Wind Orchestra will be traveling the Midwest:
- The Gustavus Choir will have concerts and/or worship services in the following cities: San Diego and Riverside (California); Green Valley, Sun City West, and Phoenix (Arizona); Santa Fe and Albuquerque (New Mexico).
- The Gustavus Wind Orchestra will have concerts and clinics in the following cities: Excelsior, Rochester, Winona, and Plymouth (Minnesota), Mason City (Iowa), Lake Forest and Chicago (Illinois), Germantown and Wausau (Wisconsin).
Both ensembles will have their home concerts in Christ Chapel on Feb. 16. Details are still being worked out, so please continue to check gustavus.edu/finearts/touringschedule for more information.
Can I get the specific dates of the choir’s touring schedule?

Hi Emily,
We have just received the final confirmation on the choir’s dates and will have them on the web site as soon as is possible. We’re working without a touring manager and trying to get everything ready for the tours while we are short on staff. Both tour schedules are on the way to the web developers. If you have a specific date or city, I’ll send that information to you. Please reply to my office email.
Thanks.

How about the Gustavus Symphony Orchestra? Are they on tour? If so, when and where? Thanks!
Hi Darlene,
The symphony will tour during spring break in April. The plans are to tour through Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and then home. The tour manger’s position was cut and I haven’t had the time to finish all of the plans for that tour in addition to my other responsibilities as director of fine arts. I do hope to have those plans completed in February and on line. Please keep watching the web site for those plans.

Director of Fine Arts Programs
Al,
Still looking for information on Gustavus Symphony Orchestra spring tour… at least the dates.
Thanks!
Hi Darlene, I’m not sure my response was posted. I don’t have the symphony’s tour posted as I’m waiting for confirmation on a venue in Cleveland. I’ll add the concerts for this short tour here and online as soon as I have the tour complete.
