Keystone State Boychoir

Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden!

Put yourself back on Saturday night in Verizon Hall, with the thrill of Fitz’s Concert Mass, the joyful end of Praise His Holy Name, the peak of this incredible 2015-16 season. Take all of that and use it to fill the sails of this concert tour, and you get an idea of how everything is going in Stockholm!

Despite everyone being kind of bleary eyed on Sunday, the excitement from the Gala Concert was in the air from the moment we were back together again, and got us through the long travel day. We arrived in Stockholm yesterday afternoon, and reunited with Stockholm Gosskör, who had visited us a year ago on their tour to the US. Boys report that they’ve got terrific homestays.

Our first full day in Stockholm started with a morning rehearsal then the first performance of the tour – a lunch time concert. We’ve done some sightSINGing, and are now heading to an afternoon rehearsal, after which, the boys will be back to their homestays, who have just started their summer vacation.

More tomorrow!

Luggage lined up and ready to go!

A Tour tradition – playing cards at the airport!

Remember that time when Ben Bernanke’s security detail asked us to sing for them at the Copenhagen Airport?

Some of the guys with their homestay families. It’s especially fun since this is a return visit and we know each other already!
