Every year the MSUM Concert Choir spreads its musical talent to numerous audiences in varying locations over spring break. Last year, the choir toured Minnesota. While it wasn’t the group’s first choice, lack of funding didn’t leave many options. The group performed in Glenwood, St. Paul, St. Cloud, Sartell, Milaca and Staples. This year’s choir made the decision to fundraise early so it would have more options. Because more funding is needed for the 2012 concert tour, the choir is accepting donations at concerts and at fundraising events. Concerts are currently free. The first concert was Friday at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Moorhead.
