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 frst, and is still the best, in the feld. We have all been raised up by the music that he has encouraged us to make.

MidAmerica Productions & MidAm International Tel. 212.239.0205 - www.midamerica-music.com - www.petertiboris.com Quotes from the Vienna Music Tour past participants

“The venues were superb, the orchestra was precise, the audiences were overflowing and the music was spectacular. 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.

Subject to revision; published December 18, 2020. 8 structure in Austria. It boasts a high Gothic choir and a late Gothic nave with a steeply pitched roof and decorative glazed tiles. The regularly tapering south tower, popularly known as “Steffl”, is Vienna’s principal landmark. Major state services are held here, and Mozart’s funeral took place here. Mozarthaus Vienna: Though Mozart lived at a dozen different addresses in Vienna, the only apartment that has survived to this day is at Domgasse No. 5. The composer lived at this address from 1784 till 1787. Occupying 1,000 square meters on six levels, the Mozarthaus was opened on January 27, 2006 – the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. Visitors are immersed in the vibrant world of Mozart, experiencing his bountiful genius and creativity, his family, and his friends and foes in Vienna of the late Baroque. His apartment on the first floor had four large rooms, two small ones and a kitchen. Throughout his life, Mozart attached great importance to outward appearances: only smart clothes and buckled shoes would suit him. www.mozarthausvienna.at (Tour descriptions courtesy of Vienna’s Columbus Management.)
