The Greenville College Choir arrived in Budapest yesterday to start their two-week European Tour. They will be in Budapest through Monday and then travel on to Arad, Romania; Kecskemét and Győr, Hungary; and Eisenstadt, Traiskirchen, and Perchtoldsdorf, Austria. 
Tonight they gave the first concert of their tour in Budapest at the Wounds of St. Francis Church. This was a joint concert with the Cantate Choir of the Zoltán Kodály Hungarian Choir School, located here in Budapest. The Greenville College Choir performed their concert first, then the Cantate Choir performed, and finally the evening concluded with two number by the combined choirs.
The director of the Greenville College Choir is Dr. Jeff Wilson. Jeff, along with his wife Pam and their children, spent six months in Hungary four years ago during Jeff's sabbatical year. At that time he made many contacts with music educators in Hungary, and it is due to those connections that this current choir tour is possible.
