MIDAMERICA PRODUCTIONS & MIDAM INTERNATIONAL OF NYC Peter Tiboris, General Music Director John Rutter celebrates his 31st year in 2021 on the MidAmerica and MidAm International series. Since that first concert in spring of 1988, he has made 130 concert appearances. Maestro Rutter is a celebrated conductor and composer, and we have been honored by his appearances. Mr. Rutter writes: “Some of the most inspiring moments in my lifetime as a conductor have been in Carnegie Hall, directing a MidAmerica chorus and orchestra. The contribution of Peter Tiboris and his marvelous team to the musical life of America has been incalculable. His company was the first, and is still the best, in the field. We have all been raised up by the music that he has encouraged us to make.

The detail all choirs were able to attain was quite masterful. “The opportunity to conduct a Viennese orchestra with the New Mexico State University choirs will linger in my mind forever. So many tour companies put together a cappella concerts, but this was an opportunity of a lifetime that I haven't seen paralleled by other companies. My choir enjoyed every aspect of the tour. The motor coaches were first class, the hotels were wonderful, the tour guides were knowledgeable and kind and the sights were all included. Truly a fabulous experience for all our singers and their families!” -- John Flanery, New Mexico State University “We wanted a place for The Phoenix Symphony Chorus to travel to and perform in which would be a trip-of-a-lifetime for them, and MidAm International offered that for us in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria. It also was important for us to be able to perform on our own as well as with other groups, and that was included in our trip. In addition, it was a good chance to perform solo concerts without The Phoenix Symphony, our normal performing partner. This helped develop our confidence and polish our choral techniques. When we performed with others in Mozart's Requiem we were very happy to be in our normal symphonic repertoire ‘comfort zone,’ but even more thrilled to be doing it in Vienna with other new instrumentalist and vocalist friends. “No question, it was a thrill to be in these ancient cities and be surrounded by the original culture and environment of the masters whose music we regularly perform in the United States.” -- Tom Bookhout, The Phoenix Symphony Chorus “Vienna is a wonderful city for making music in. We had an excellent orchestra, the collaboration with Martin Sedek's choir was very good, and my singers as well as those from Cascade Choir really rose to the occasion and sang well. “The group had a wonderful set of tours that let them experience the history of Vienna and Salzburg. All of the singers came to me to say they would enjoy coming again. Having extra days in Salzburg was great. We had time to really absorb a culture different from Vienna. Even though these singers came well prepared, they realized that this was an advantage and will be better prepared for future music making.” -- Matthew Harden, Madrigali et al. 5 Subject to revision; published December 18, 2020. 2021 Vienna & Salzburg Music Tour Registration Deadline: June 1, 2021 Early Registration Deposit Deadline: February 1, 2021 for complimentary additional packages based on 30 registrations (see page 18) One performance on Tuesday, December 14 Mozart: Mass in C major, K. 317 Shulamit Hoffmann, conductor Viva La Musica, Foster City, CA - INTERMISSION - Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E♭ major, Op. 55 "Eroica" Peter Tiboris, conductor at Minoritenkirche in Vienna Symphonisches Orchestra Wien Peter Tiboris, Music Director __________________________________ Gala concert celebrating Beethoven's 251st birthday on Thursday, December 16 Beethoven: Mass in C major, Op. 86 - INTERMISSION - Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Ode to Joy" Peter Tiboris, conductor at Minoritenkirche in Vienna Symphonisches Orchestra Wien World Class Soloists And in Salzburg, a solo concert featuring the American touring choirs in Müller Church on Friday, December 17 A minimum of three visiting groups must agree to perform for this concert to go forward.
