He has been very involved in the CMU community throughout his time as president, and the 2012 tour provides an opportunity to connect with friends and alumni from western Canada.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>In addition to their tour performances, CMU choirs perform at various worship services in Manitoba throughout the year, and collaborate and perform with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra at its internationally recognized New Music Festival. <\/p>\n<p>CMU Chamber Tour Schedule<\/p>\n<p>April 23 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nParkland Community Church<br \/>\n78 South Front St, Yorkton, SK<\/p>\n<p>April 24 | 6 PM Dinner, 7:30 PM Program<br \/>\nCelebration Event together with Rosthern Jr. College Chorale<br \/>\nHosted by Osler Mennonite Church<br \/>\n212- 2nd Ave, Osler, SK<\/p>\n<p>April 25 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nBergthal Mennonite Church<br \/>\nDidsbury, AB<\/p>\n<p>April 26 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nSinging together with the Okanogan Festival Singers, conducted by Leroy Wiens<br \/>\nFirst Mennonite Church<br \/>\n1305 Gordon Dr, Kelowna, BC<\/p>\n<p>April 27 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nSinging together with the MEI Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, conducted by Dean Wedel<br \/>\nMennonite Educational Institute<br \/>\n4081 Clearbrook Rd, Abbotsford, BC<\/p>\n<p>April 28 | 7:00 PM<br \/>\nEmmanuel Mennonite Church<br \/>\n3471 Clearbrook Rd, Abbotsford, BC<\/p>\n<p>April 29 | 11:00 AM<br \/>\nLangley Mennonite Fellowship<br \/>\n20997 40 Ave, Langley, BC<\/p>\n<p>April 29 | 7:00 PM<br \/>\nSinging together with the Vancouver Peace Choir,<br \/>\nconducted by Timothy Corlis, and the Richmond Youth Honour Choir, directed by Heidi Epp<br \/>\nPeace Mennonite Church<br \/>\n11571 Daniels Rd, Richmond, BC<\/p>\n<p>May 1 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nFirst United Mennonite Church<br \/>\n659 East 52nd Ave, Vancouver, BC<\/p>\n<p>May 2 | 7:00 PM<br \/>\nSinging together with the Sea to Sky Singers, directed by Veronica McPhee<br \/>\nSt. John the Divine Anglican Church<br \/>\n1930 Diamond Rd, Squamish, BC<\/p>\n<p>May 3 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nSardis Community Church<br \/>\n45625 South Sumas Road, Chilliwack, BC<\/p>\n<p>May 4 | 7:30 PM<br \/>\nSt. Andrew&#8217;s Presbyterian Church<br \/>\n1136 6 Ave, Kamloops, BC<\/p>\n<p>May 5 | 6:45 PM<br \/>\nConcert and Desert Fundraiser<br \/>\nAt Menno Simons Christian School<br \/>\n7000 Elkton Dr SW, Calgary, AB<\/p>\n<p>May 6 | 10:45 AM<br \/>\nHighland MB Church<br \/>\n4018 Centre B St NW, Calgary, AB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 23, 2012 \u2013 The CMU Chamber Choir is on the road again for their year-end performance tour.
