Grand View Choir Spring Tour 2026: Journey: Love through Time and Change

March 5, 2026

This March, the Grand View Choir will embark on an exciting seven-day Spring Tour, traveling from March 13th to March 20th with stops in Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Under the direction of Dr. Joshua Boggs and accompanied by Rachel Cohen on piano, 31 talented Grand View University musicians will perform at congregations across four states, including a special workshop with the Bozeman Symphony Chorus in Montana. Along the way, the choir will enjoy sightseeing, including a day at a national park in Montana and a visit to Mount Rushmore.

The tour’s program, Journey: Love through Time and Change, explores how love sustains us through life’s seasons of building, loss, reflection, and renewal. From creating community and “home” to transforming grief into hope, the music provides moments of vulnerability, stillness, and reflection while celebrating connection and collective voice. The choir will perform works by celebrated composers such as Daniel Elder, Dan Forrest, Elaine Hagenberg, Shawn Kirchner, Thomas Tallis, Frank Ticheli, Ayanna Woods, and more, spanning styles from Renaissance classics to contemporary choral compositions.

Audiences are invited to experience the beauty and joy of live choral music while reflecting on the themes of the tour. Admission to all performances is free, and donations are welcomed to support this student-centered program.
