'Brazil has been an exceptional tour for the Morgan State University Choir'








Dr. Eric Conway, Director of the Morgan State University Choir, www.msuchoir.org, sends news of Days 3 and 4 of the Choir's trip to Brazil:


Hello everyone,

Brazil has been an exceptional tour for the Morgan State University Choir.  Last evening, we performed our 2nd full concert at Teatro Coliseu, the premier hall of Santos, Brazil.

During the day a few of us toured historic Santos, which happens to be an island city, the oldest city in Brazil, and largest port in all of South America.  We visited the Santos coffee museum, archiving one of Brazil's main exports.  We then visited the Santos Aquarium, not the Baltimore National Aquarium, but not bad.  

The concert was at 8PM.  Despite a soccer semi-finals game with the Santos team (Pelè's team) playing opposite our performance, there was nicely filled.  Again, we were received enthusiastically.  The backstage person working the show made a point to tell me that he had heard many acts over the years, but we were the absolute best!  I told him that was quite a compliment and humbly thanked him.  Once again, the Morgan State Univeristy Choir is growing the future and leading the world!
