The choir will be returning from a spring break tour of Michigan and Canada. The Chapel Choir was organized in 1929 and began touring annually in 1953. In addition to touring extensively in the United States and Canada, the choir has made a European tour seven times, most recently in May 2005.
In addition to its active performance schedule, the choir has made numerous radio and television appearances, including the nationally televised "Hour of Power" from Garden GroveChurch in California. The choir is featured each December in Hope's Christmas Vespers program, which is broadcast on radio stations around the country.
