Touring is one of the most important aspects of the Choir's extra-curricular life. The Choir is regularly invited to perform throughout the world, with recent destinations including Malta, Italy, Romania and South Africa.
The College Choir has also been uniquely involved in international outreach through its work in Sri Lanka, South Africa, and the UK, leading singing workshops for children in under-privileged communities, and hopes to continue this work in the future.
