KENOSHA, WI (02/18/2015)(readMedia)-- Local students in the Carthage College Choir traveled to Spain in January for a study and performance tour. During the course, titled A Journey of Senses in Spain: Music and Cultural Heritage, the choir performed a series of concerts and sang in each of the nation's four official languages.
The area students who participated were:
Chas Young of Geneseo, IL
Fletcher Paulsen of DeWitt, IA
Modern languages professor Isabel Rivero-Vila and music professor Eduardo Garcia-Novelli led the tour. Besides performing, choir members examined Spain's cultural heritage and the distinct differences between the autonomous regions through cultural visits and interviews with residents.
The class came during J-Term, a monthlong period of study in which Carthage students explore subjects outside their majors or minors, discover new interests, and test their creativity through classes on campus and around the world. Carthage is ranked No. 7 in the nation among baccalaureate institutions for student participation in short-term study abroad, according to the Institute of International Education.
