In 2016, the choir performed Haydn’s Creation, which included the commissioning of seven new pieces of art, representing the seven days of creation, in support of UMAR, a United Methodist organization which works with adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 2017, the choir mounted a production of Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man: A Mass of Peace, with chamber orchestra and lighting effects, which they took on the road to The Riverside Church of the City of New York. Most recently, the choir completed a nine day tour of Scotland, with performances at Iona Abbey and St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. A trip to Italy is planned for May 2021.
