One of the main performances we were to do while on tour was at St. Erasmus Church for our host families. The youth choir has a connection with this church that goes back 20 years. Wolfram Bolsinger is the director of the choir at the church, and is also the local high school choir teacher. He has an 80 voice school choir that has previously done an exchange with the youth choir. Wolfram organized all of the billeting for our kids, and put together both the church service and the concert where we performed. He organized the concert as a benefit concert entitled “Europe Meets Canada”, with the proceeds going to a local seniors charity. As a result of all of his hard work, the concert was very well attended!
After the performance the church hosted us for a dinner in their hall downstairs. There was incredible food, friendship, and singing through and evening.
During the dinner the choir got together with their host families for a group picture.
This morning we said goodbye to Sophia , Ines and Franz, who were the Pathfinders who organized all of the activities for the choir while we were here.
And as well we all said goodbye and a huge thank you to Wolfram! (In the turquoise shirt on the left of Rob)
