Our alumni have continued their educations in graduate programs at the Eastman School of Music, Boston University , Peabody Conservatory, Westminster Choir College , and the Royal College of Music in London.

Off-Campus Appearances and Tours

Academic studies and performances are augmented by numerous off-campus appearances by students and faculty, and Georgia Southern Chorale's annual concert tours. In May 2005, the Chorale completed a two-week tour of Italy that culminated in performances at Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. International tours take place every three years and are coupled with an academic residency which affords students an opportunity for additional study at the Bavarian Music Academy. GSC's next trip abroad will be in May, 2008.
