Touring Program

The UMW-CSO touring program was established in 2006 as a means to offer international and cultural opportunities for our students and community musicians. Tours are voluntary and take place during academic breaks. The first tour was to Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic in the Spring of 2006. This tour coincided with the 250th birthday celebration of Wolfgang Mozart and mirrored his travels as a child prodigy. The second tour (each spaced two years apart) took us to England and France in May 2008.

The purpose of the program is: (1) to expand the scope of music learning through international experiences, (2) to provide our musicians with a valuable cultural exchange opportunity by performing with groups from other countries, (3) to showcase to the international community the superb capabilities of our orchestra, and (4) to serve as a cultural ambassador representing the state, region, and country.

The tour in Spring 2010 will be to Southern California, with performances in San Diego and Los Angeles.
