Earlier this month, Eastern's Chamber Singers and the Chamber Singers of Mount St. Mary's University of Emmitsburg, MD, completed a three-day tour of Montreal, singing at such notable venues as Notre-Dame Basilica. Under the direction of Vocal Studies Professor David Belles, the two universities have begun laying ground for future bi-annual collaborations, including summer concerts abroad. Belles said, "This outstanding growth and positive reflection on the University is most noteworthy, and can be attributed in large part to the hard work of Professor Lynn Maxfield, whose instruction and contributions to the choral rehearsal are leading our students to set new and higher standards."
