Welcome to Prague!

By Andrea Maistros '15 on May 19, 2015

Prague is filled with music. From the sheet music themed jewelry sold on the Charles’ bridge, to the giant metronome monument in the park, the city is infused with its connection to the giants of composition that lived and worked here. It is only fitting that the Colgate University Choral Ensembles initiated our European Concert Tour here.

Our first song was not Dvořák or Brahms, however, but “Happy Birthday” for one of our sopranos, Elyse. Considering we haven’t had a formal rehearsal in Europe yet, we all sounded pretty wonderful!

We are fortunate that everyone arrived with their luggage, and we had no incidents during travel. Everyone is very excited for our first performance tomorrow!!
