Antioch Rehearses for Tolosa Festival Trip
Antioch is busy rehearsing for our upcoming trip to Spain. Our rehearsals are generally 3 hours in length. Our main focus during our most recent rehearsals was learning and singing our competition sets. For the Tolosa International Choral Competition, we are entered in two categories: Sacred and Secular. Each set is 15-18 minutes in length and must be completely memorized. In the video posted below, you can see one of our rehearsals in which we are working on the transition between two songs: VoiceDance II and Fyer, Fyer! We leave for Spain on October 24 and return on November 3.
Antioch travels to Spain
Antioch has been invited to represent the United States in the prestigious Tolosa Choral Competition. We depart the evening of October 24, sing four concerts in Spain and compete on October 31 in the Tolosa Competition.
We will be blogging throughout our tour. Please check this blog daily for updates, pictures and videos of our tour.

Antioch had the distinct pleasure of performing for the annual summer conference of the American Choral Director’s Association’s Pennsylvania Chapter at Penn State University on August 6, 2007. In attendance were such prestigious choral directors and clinicians as Stephen Hatfield, Peggy Dettwiler and Joseph Ohrt.
Antioch sang a diverse program in the wonderful acoustic of Esber Hall (pictured above), including William Cornysh’s virtuosic Salve Regina, Morten Lauridsen’s Six “Fire Songs” on Italian Renaissance Poems, and contemporary arrangements of American jazz standards. You can listen to a live recording of the Salve Regina here.
We extend our warmest thanks to Ed McCall and ACDA-PA for the warm hospitality and enthusiastic reception!
