H-F Symphony Orchestra & Chorus Tour Spain & France
The H-F Symphony Orchestra & Chorus recently returned from a successful concert tour to Spain and France as part of the American Celebration of Music in Europe concert series festival. The Orchestra and Chorus arrived in Barcelona, Spain, where they rehearsed and enjoyed their first concert, and then moved into France, visiting the cities of Carcassonne, Avignon, and finishing in Nice, performing in each city. Two of the many highlights were the performances in the Cathedral of St. Michel in Carcassonne, where they enjoyed an enthusiastic audience that “would not let them go” until they performed two encore pieces following the scheduled program, and the second highlight worth mentioning was the concert in Centre Cultural ‘Le Forum’ in Les Angles (a suburb of Avignon) where they enjoyed another receptive audience of an estimated 450 people and were afterwards treated to a full dinner & dessert and were given gifts relating to their community.
