Concert Tour News

Tour
 
Every few years the Germania organizes a concert tour to some part of Europe. On the last tour, in 2006, we visited parts of Germany, Austria and the Chech Republic. Now, the Germania and the Swiss clubs of Columbus are pooling our talents to tour, in 2011, Switzerland, southern Germany and parts of Austria. The trip is planned for June 14 through June 28.

The itinerary for the tour is pretty well set. We fly to Zurich, Switzerland, visiting various places and taking in a yodel fest. After five days in Switzerland we move on to see the sights around the Bodensee (Lake Constance) and then into Germany. Major towns and cities include Augsburg, Nurnberg and Regensburg. In Austria it’s Salzburg. We spend some time in Munich, where we visit our friends of the Pasing Liedertafel. All along the way we will meet up with other local choruses, perform with them and enjoy some of the local GEMÜTLICHKEIT. We’ll also sing in some beautiful churches and maybe even a cathedral! And then we fly home. The Germania tours are known to be super enjoyable events. If you go on one you’ll definitely want to do it again. We see the sights, we meet the people and we soak up the culture.

Plans for the tour began in October, 2009. We hope to have at least 30 singers and up to 20 non-singers join us on the tour. You don’t have to be a singer to join the tour, but you will need to hurry if you want to go. The cost of the tour, not including air fare, is expected to be in the range of $1800 per person, at the present rate of exchange. We expect everyone to make monthly deposits to the Germania Travel Fund. The first deposit of $100 was due in January, 2010, and $150 per person deposits are due each month from February, 2010 through February, 2011. The first 50 persons to keep to this schedule of deposits will be on the tour. Others will be on a waiting list.
