VALDOSTA -- The Valdosta State University Chamber Singers will embark on its Spring Choir Tour, which includes performances in Atlanta, Gainesville and Winston-Salem, N.C.

The tour includes several destinations like McEachern High School in Cobb County, where the Chamber Singers will perform for more than 800 choir students. The elite choir will also perform at First Methodist Church in Gainesville and Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Atlanta. 



The highlight of the tour will be a performance at the American Choral Directors Association Conference (ACDA) in Winston-Salem, N.C. More than 100 choral groups throughout the southern division auditioned to perform at the conference. The Chamber Singers were among 18 choirs selected.
