The Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale is preparing for our fourth international performance tour, this time traveling through the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, with many exciting singing opportunities along the way.

The 10-day tour begins in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, continues north to Latvia's capital, Riga, and concludes in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Throughout the tour we will be giving concerts in both formal venues and informal settings, such as cathedrals, castles, palaces, historic sites, war memorials, and even on hillsides! We will also be spontaneously bursting into song along the way in various locations!

Best of all, we are excited to include a concert with a local choir in each of the capital cities we will be visiting. We always enjoy the cultural exchanges these musical collaborations provide, and we hope to make many international friends as we share our love of music with the people of these countries. Music played a crucial role in the Baltics countries' "Singing Revolution," serving as a powerful form of non-violent resistance and a symbol of national identity in their struggle for independence from Soviet oppression.

Would you like to contribute to our cultural exchange in the Baltics? Visit our Sponsorship page to become a sponsor for the tour.
