Music Tours

Choir Tour – May 2025

Each spring, after commencement, the Bethany Concert ChoirMary Martha Singers, and Handbell Choir embark on a regional or national music tour for about 10 days. At its conclusion, they perform at a homecoming concert in Bethany’s Trinity Chapel.  The Bethany Concert Band tours over spring break in March. Choir and band tours alternate between regional and national tours.

Music Tour Endowment Fund

Recently, a generous donor has laid the foundation for an endowed band and choir tour fund which will financially ensure our students will be able to continue sharing music on tour for years to come.

The Concert Choir, Mary Martha Singers, and Handbell Choirs, under the direction of Professors David Paulson and Ann Fredrickson, are excited to perform a homecoming concert on Friday, May 16 at 7 p.m. in Trinity Chapel. Their tour departs on Sunday, May 11 for Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri, and may be coming to a church near you! We hope to see you in person at Bethany on May 16 or you can tune in to the livestream.
