Singing Across Italy
The summer of 2013 brought me on another amazing journey to Europe. This time I traveled with the Chamber Singers group from Alfred University to be performing in several cities across Italy! We started in Rome and had 3 small concerts in various places through out the city. One of which we did for mass at...the Vatican! We were in Italy for a total of 10 days, and we spent 4 of them in Rome. We had guided tours planned for us everyday to see the more famous parts of the city. But, since we had members of all ages in our singing group, the tour tended to move a little slow for my tastes. I would often split off from the group to explore things on my own "to-see" list and meet up with them again at the next destination. It meant lot of power walking to catch up, so I got lots of exercise in. After Rome we stopped at the beautiful city of Assisi for a day. We had no concert planned here, but after a fantastic guided tour, we stood together in the plaza and sang a song t
