The Antioch Chorus toured Europe in 1973 and 1975. This university choir of about 50 singers made high-quality recordings while on tour in France and Italy. For some of these compositions, it was the first-ever recording. After a reunion and concert in 1996, a CD was produced from the original tapes of each tour.

Antioch College Chorus Reunion, March 22-24, 2013, San Francisco
Antioch Chorus energy is bubbling again. And 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Chorus trip, a sober-but-celebration-worthy complement to those bubbles.

Many of you have been dreaming of an Antioch European Chorus '73/'75 reunion, and some S.F. Bay Area members are making it happen. A March 23rd, 2013, Antioch alumni event in San Francisco provides us a target date.

We're keeping the weekend simple. You might want to sing or you might just join us to socialize, listen, and have fun. Either way, the group who do sing can give a very short "performance" at the larger alumni reunion. By having a 3 day schedule (chorus dinner Friday, Reunion events Saturday afternoon/evening and chorus brunch Sunday) we hope you might be enticed to come even if you live far away; and of course you can choose to come for one of the events or for all three days.
