2010

The choir provided musical contributions to the mass and performed songs from its winter repertoire afterwards.

We performed our winter program. It contained a balance of sacred, classical and modern pieces, combined with songs for the Christmas and winter season.

The choir joined the USAFE band for this special Christmas concert. We performed a few pieces a capella and accompanied by band musicians during the first half and joined the USAFE Band for the finale. In its concert review, the Rheinpfalz newspaper commented:

“Without trying to diminish the excellent performance of the collective under the direction of Patrick Casey, one has to emphasize the especially well sounding and beaming women’s voices. The choral jubilation during the emphatic finale did – to be taken literally with “In Dulci Jubilo” – not know any boundaries.”

We performed our winter program for 2010. In its newspaper article, the Rheinpfalz stated:

“Even truly difficult vocal tests … were mastered with ease by the award-winning choir under the supreme direction of Patrick Casey.”

We performed together with the a-capella “Ensemble d’acCHORd” (led by Gerda Ramirez).

We performed most of our Spring repertoire at this concert.

The choir was invited to perform a 40-minute concert at the one-week All-Europe Honor Chorus and Honor Band Workshop. Organized by the Department of Defense Education Activity Agency, this workshop was held by Craig Jessup, who was the director of the Rheinland-Pfalz International Choir in 1987 and 1988.

During the celebrations for completing the remodeling of the building, the choir performed a few pieces of its Spring repertoire.
