We sincerely appreciate it. Your funds were most recently spent saving our kids from spending their own money on travel and excess fees for competitions. -Linda Cowan

Hello alumni and friends of Voice at West Liberty!

A few years ago, we floated the idea of reviving the Europe Choir Tours of years past.

I have a small group of undergrads interested in going to
Europe in the Spring of 2027, but not enough to make it financially or vocally viable for a choral experience.

Did you sing while you were at WLU? Would you like to again? Do you want to spend 10 days on tour in Europe in mid-May 2027? If so, please email me at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you!
