The Choir of Somerville College is busy fundraising for what will be the choir’s most ambitious tour to date. In September we plan to travel to New York City and Washington DC to give concerts, workshops and sing services. The tour comes on the back of a hugely successful first year under the directorship of Benjamin Goodson: we have performed a sold-out performance of Bach’s John Passion, while upcoming plans include a concert of Anglo-American music and a performance of Tallis’s Spem in Alium at one of London’s most prestigious venues, St Martin-in-the-Fields. The choir is going from strength to strength, and we are sure that now is the time to showcase this special choir to new audiences on the other side of the Atlantic!
We need to fundraise to get us there. The choir has already been working hard at this, by raising money through concerts and events. This term in particular we have hosted an American themed bake-sale, an open-mic night and as a choir we have busked on the streets of Oxford. In addition, each member of the choir will be contributing towards the cost of the tour. But we now need your help!
To get us over the finish line we are using Somerville’s crowdfunding platform to collect donations towards our cause. We would be extremely grateful for any donation, big or small, which will help us get to New York. If we manage to exceed our target, your donations will still be worthwhile, as it will go towards subsiding the individual contributions for members of the choir who would otherwise struggle to pay for it.

From all of us, thank you very much in advance for your generosity.
