Collegiate Chorale Sets Tour of Israel

New York's Collegiate Chorale, led by music director Robert Bass, will go on tour in Israel with the Israel Philharmonic between July 12 and July 21. The program, which will be performed in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem, features works by Bernstein, Brahms, Verdi, and Thomas, as well as some traditional American spirituals.

Participants in the chorale's Side-by-Side education program, which gives musically advanced high school students the opportunity to practice with the chorale, will join the ensemble. The group consists of 20 students, alumni, and teachers from the Lawrence, Bayside, and Frank Sinatra high schools.
