Every year at this time, Westminster Choir returns, following an extensive tour, to reunite with the Princeton community through its annual Homecoming Concert. What makes this year stand apart is that the choir really is going home.

To mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the ensemble, in addition to its tour of the western United States – with stops in Seattle, Boise, Salt Lake City, and Garden Grove and La Jolla, California – and its traditional concert at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium, the choir will travel to Westminster Presbyterian Church, in Dayton, Ohio, where it was founded in 1920.

That pilgrimage will take place in April. The same program, presented under the title “Appear and Inspire,” will be sung at Richardson Auditorium, on Monday, January 27, at 7:30 p.m. Westminster’s director of choral activities, Joe Miller, will conduct.

If you can’t make it to the hall, the concert will be simulcast over WWFM – The Classical Network at 89.1 FM and online at wwfm.org.

Learn more about it, including a condensed history of the choir, the foundation of Westminster Choir College, and some of its very impressive credentials, in my article in this week’s U.S. 1 Newspaper – PrincetonInfo, out today.
