The Iowa Mennonite School touring choir left Wednesday for a trip that will take them more than 800 miles east to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania for the Mennonite Schools Council Choir Festival.
On the way the choir will make stops for performances in Goshen, Indiana and Kidron, Ohio before arriving in Pennsylvania.
The choir will perform a wide range of pieces, from 15th century compositions to present day. Genres include English, Spanish, Latin, German and even Zulu. The IMS choir will perform as a stand alone group at 2 p.m. CST Sunday and as a part of a final staging of all attending ensembles that features more than 200 voices. A live stream of the event is available on the Shalom Christian Academy website, a link to that site is available in this story on KCIIradio.com.
