The 46-member Asbury College Concert Choir and its new director, Dr. Beatrice Holz , completed a six-state biennial Spring Break Tour in 2007, concluding at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C., where the group presented a 30-minute choral prelude to the Eucharist Service on March 25th.
Just after their return from the spring tour, the Concert Choir also collaborated with the choirs of Berea College, Centre College, and Transylvania University in a festival commemorating the 125th anniversary of the birth of Igor Stravinsky. In the first half of the festival, each choir presented works by composers who either influenced Stravinsky or were influenced by the composer, with Asbury performing from Ravel’s "Trois Chansons". In the second half of the concert, the combined choirs performed Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms with orchestra. The festival concerts were presented in both Danville & Lexington.
