Choir tour canceled due to coronavirus

The Augustana Choir's upcoming tour of the East Coast, and related pre-concert receptions, have been canceled. This is due to the increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases and closures in the areas the choir planned to visit.

The decision was made out of caution for students, alumni and friends. (More information about the college's response to the COVID-19.)

The choir was to have stopped in Newton, Mass., Allentown, Pa., Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York City March 21-27.

Established in 1931, the Augustana Choir has been conducted by Dr. Jon Hurty since 1996.
