Buon Giorno Friends of The Glory Singers!
Back from a successful concert tour in
Italy
with formal concerts in Florence, Trevi and Rome,
The Glory Singers enjoyed appreciative audiences, standing ovations, and shouts of bravo and encore. Even the Pope gave his personal nod to the choir by clapping in time to their music.
The Glory Singer’s formal itinerary
included concerts at The Church of Santa Maria del Ricci in Florence, The Church
of Saint Francis in Trevi, and Chiesa Evangelica Valdese in Rome; singing for
Mass at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and a general audience with Pope
Benedict XVI. What an experience!
Informal singing was also enjoyed by all
at the airport, on the tour bus, in the hills of San Gimignano, and in
the country side at Castallacio.
Besides singing, The Glory Singers toured
the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, the Appian Way/Catacombs, the Vatican Museums in Rome, the Sistine Chapel, and Ancient
Rome; they enjoyed fabulous Italian wine and cuisine (pasta everyday and gelato at every stop), and a visit to the Trevi Fountain
to toss in a coin to insure their Arrivederci Roma.
We enjoyed our trip, but it’s good to be home!
Ciao,
Beth Donnelly
