Recent tours took the Singers to Hungary, Austria, and Czech Republic. Ford described highlights from previous trips, emphasizing the surreal moments when their music connected with where they were performing. One of those moments was during their 2007 tour when the group performed Mozart in the church where the composer was baptized, grew up, and even worked for a while.<\/p>\n<p>For their tour through Ireland and Scotland, Ford and the Singers point to their performance at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, as most memorable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this 2016 tour, singing to a standing room only audience at St. Giles\u2019 Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland was very rewarding. \u00a0The reactions of audience members and their comments after the program let the students know that their work was very much appreciated,\u201d \u00a0Ford said.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen Thomas echoed Ford\u2019s remarks,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was great to see how the crowd reacted and how moved they were. The space was great to sing in and it was one of the most amazing concerts I&#8217;ve had the privilege of singing in. It&#8217;s incredible to see how music can bring people together from all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corey Johnson said she \u201cgot the chills while performing there\u201d and he grew emotional during the performance because \u201cthe space was so awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the Singers\u2019 performances certainly featured music composed by natives from the areas they visited, they made sure to sprinkle in a bit of UTC too. Their concert at St. Giles Cathedral featured works by<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/tag\/roland-carter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Roland Carter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u00a0who retired from UTC\u2019s music department in 2013 after 23 years with the University.
