Gonzaga Cultural Exchange Florence 2019
Sharing our experiences from Italy

Our Experience
Florence 2019
Gonzaga University Chamber Chorus and Dance Program combines to send 30 singers and 16 dancers to share some wonderful art from Spokane. We will be experiencing Florence together in performances of A New Season and also experiencing specific exchanges with both Italian singers and dancers.
In the Gonzaga University Choirs Mission Statement, it states:
"We advocate for choral arts among singers of all ages because we believe that choral music inspires creativity, it bonds humans together in community, and it builds bridges between cultures."
We are all so humbled by this exciting opportunity to travel abroad as a community and join in song and dance with people of a different culture. Here, we will be sharing stories every day about our exchange, written by different choir and dance members from their point of view.
