The Santa Barbara City College Choir, under the direction of Mr. Nathan Kreitzer, traveled with Incantato Tours on a performance tour to Ireland in 2008. The eleven-day excursion featured a trip to the famous Blarney Castle, breathtaking views from Ireland’s highest mountains—the Macgillycuddy Reeks, guided tours of the Spanish Arch and King John’s Castle, and a performance at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.
On Friday, June 13, 2008, the group celebrated their final night on the Emerald Isle with a traditional Irish banquet farewell dinner at the Jameson Whiskey Distillery. The festivities included Claddagh Irish dancers and the three-man Irish band “The Shindig.” The band honored the choir by dedicating their performance of the traditional Irish tune “Danny Boy” to SBCC director Nathan Kreitzer. The video of the performance is featured on the World News Network website.
