Washington D.C.
PMAA at Kennedy Center for the National Memorial Day Choral Concert.
London
In 2023 we traveled to England to tour London and sing at the Bath Abbey with THE John Rutter. The program included Rutter’s “Magnificat,” “Te Deum,” and “Requiem,” each a masterpiece in its own right.
Prague
This trip was originally scheduled for 2020, but it was postponed and postponed due to COVID. We were originally scheduled to tour and sing in Ireland with Rollo Dilworth. Due to the two-year delay, our itinerary changed to Prague and Vienna. We sang a selection of Dilworth songs under the direction of Rollo Dilworth with several other choruses at the Prague Philharmonic. We also toured Prague and Vienna.
Carnegie Hall
This trip was our second performance at Carnegie Hall. We sang Faure’s Requiem. We had a marvelous time touring the sites of New York City and singing this beautiful piece.
Spain
We headed out to Spain to tour in Barcelona and Madrid. We sang at the Cathedral de Los Angeles in Barcelona with Randall Stroope.
Grace Cathedral
We were asked about a month before the performance to sing Durufle's Requiem. A large chorus had pulled out of the festival at the last minute. We decided to help out since we had already knew the piece.
Washington D.C.
We went to Washington D.C. to sing at Kennedy Center for Memorial Day and to participate in the annual Memorial Day Parade. While there we toured the WWII Memorial where this picture was taken, in addition to Arlington National Cemetery and George Washington’s estate.
Washington D.C.
This was our first trip to Washington D.C. We sang a selection of patriotic songs with Craig Jessop at Kennedy Center. We toured Washington including Arlington Cemetery, the memorials on the mall, and Mount Vernon. We also participated in the National Memorial Day Parade.
New Zealand & Australia
We were off to New Zealand and Australia to sing Morton Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna at the Sydney Opera House. After a loooong plane ride, we had a marvelous tour of New Zealand and then flew to Sydney. We toured Sydney and sang at one of the most iconic venues in the world. Wow!
Italy
We had 80+ on at trip to Italy. We toured Rome, Florence, Pisa, Luca, Bologna, and Venice. However, the best part was singing with Karen Kennedy for a mass at the Vatican in St. Peters. Words can’t describe this trip!
Walt Disney Concert Hall
We sang at Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. We were part of the chorus for a performance of Eric Whitacre’s production of Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings under the direction of Eric Whitacre, himself! We didn’t really tour much, but we had a wonderful time singing and just being together.
Grace Cathedral
We sang with Randall Stroope in 2010 at Grace Cathedral. We performed several songs on our own. Other choruses also performed. As a group, we all performed "Omnia Sol" and a few other selections.
Carnegie Hall Debut
We had 80+ singers at our Carnegie Hall debut. We sang the prelude concert, and then we sang the second and third sections of Handel’s Messiah under the direction of Donald Neuen. This was an amazing experience. When almost everyone in the hall stood for the “Hallelujah Chorus,” I think we all had tears in our eyes.
Dallas, Texas
This was our first full chorus trip. We traveled to Dallas to sing at Meyerson Symphony Center to sing Haydn’s Creation with Donald Neuen. This is where we, as a group, caught the travel bug!
The White House
Heart & Soul was invited to sing Christmas music at the White House. This is a huge honor and only a select few groups are selected each year.
