On Tour With Princeton University Chapel Choir … www.Princeton.edu ...The Princeton University Chapel Choir's recent tour of Europe started with a truly high-flying performance./nThis video feature by freshmen Izzy Kasdin and Doug Stuart follows the adventures of the Chapel Choir during its Jan. 22-30 intersession tour of Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Within the first few hours of the trip, members of the choir performed for the passengers and crew on their British Airways flight, as the aisles of the Boeing 777 were packed with people listening to the choir's rendition of James Lucas' "Bright Morning Stars." /nDuring the tour the choir held concerts in such historic venues as Prague's Bethlehem Chapel where, in the early 15th century, reform movement leader Jan Hus broke from the Latin norm and preached in Czech for the first time. In Vienna, on the 255th birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the choir sang in Stephansdom, the site of Mozart's wedding and funeral. Part of the revenue from the ticket sales to the Chapel Choir's concert in Vienna will help to restore the roof on this almost 900-year-old cathedral.
