In addition to performing at winter and spring concerts, this choir accepts many performance invitations throughout the year and tours both nationally and internationally.  In the summer of 2004, this choir toured and performed in Austria and the Czech Republic.  in the summer of 2007 they performed in France, including a Fourth of July concert at Omaha Beach, one site of the D-Day allied landing in World War II, followed by a concert at the Caen Peace Museum. The choir also sang concerts or participated in services at Chartres Cathedral, St. Clothilde and the Abbey of Mt. St. Michele.
