The Triangle Singers of North Carolina are proud to perform their debut concerts in Italy, September, 2019. This choir was formed when the opportunity to sing in Italy was presented to us by our tour host, Super Holiday Tours. The trip of a lifetime for many of the choir members and family members! For most of our choir, this is also the first time to travel to Italy. Our choir consists of singers, music educators, business leaders and travel enthusiasts from the Raleigh/Durham/Wake Forest region of North Carolina. Triangle Singers represents several area churches. We would like to thank our Italian hosts for the gracious opportunity to sing in your beautifuly country.
