TWC 2002 tour — The City Choir of Washington

In 2002, Maestro Bob Shafer and members of the (now) City Choir of Washington embarked on a tour of Austria and Germany with The Washington Chorus. The central piece of that concert tour was Mozart's Coronation Mass, but in an unforgettable moment, chorus members sang Bruckner’s beautiful motet “Locus Iste” gathered around his tomb.

Please enjoy photos taken by choir members during that memorable tour!
