Fantastic Finale for the Summit Children's Touring Choir in Vienna - Full house, enticed audience, unforgettable memories

The Summit Children's Touring Choir ended it's 10-day Performance Tour to Central Europe with an unforgettable concert in the stunningly beautiful St. Anna Kirche in the heart of Vienna. Most tickets to the highlight concert benefitting the St. Anna Hospital's Children's Cancer Research Program were sold in advance - the choir had received impressive coverage in the Viennese press. Together with the walk-ins from all over the world, almost every seat in the church was taken, and the concert was a success for everyone involved.

Proudly presented by Incantato Concert Management in cooperation with Kunst & Kultur - ohne Grenzen, the SCS Touring Ensemble impressed its audience in Austria with their inspiring selection of classic and modern works from Bach, Schubert, Schuman, Younger... and last but not least the audience's favorite: "Rhythms of Life".

One very moved gentlemen in the audience, a singer himself, came up to the organizers afterwards to express special gratitude for the choir's performance of the "Ave Maria". The gentlemen, who was well in his sixties and a singer himself, stated that he had not heard this prayer performed in such a beautiful way since his late mother passed. "I was actually praying while I listened to the choir sing it - what a wonderful concert, Dankeschoen", he said.

Enjoy the videos of "Hosanna in excelsis" and "Rhythms of Life" taking during the final concert.

After a fun farewell with Viennese Burgers in the Prater, the choir took a ride on the famous ferris wheel before turning in for their last night overseas. On June 28, 2007, the Summit Children's Touring Choir, their chaperones, friends and family return to Akron, Ohio with an overnight near Chicago.

Everyone at Incantato is honored to have been given the opportunity to work with and for this fine organization and outstanding choir.

Auf Wiedersehen!!!
