Lexington Christian Academy Choir tours the Baltics
Our favorite performance was at St. Casimir’s Cathedral in Vilnius. The church was packed with 400+ audience members who were enthusiastic and engaged throughout the concert. After multiple encores, the audience stuck around outside to talk to the singers and congratulate them on their performance as they left. Standing under the sunset in beautiful Lithuania, hearing our singers talk and laugh with locals, reminded me of the universality of music and its power to bring people together.

Traveling to the Baltics with the Lincoln High School Music program was the highlight of my teaching year, and the best overall tour I have ever led.
