One year ago today, our lives were changed for the better.

In March of 2025, the Missouri State University Chorale and the Tuks Camerata (Pretoria, South Africa) embarked on a transformational experience that would span five months.

Led by conductors Cameron F. LaBarr and Michael Barrett, these two ensembles from separate skies joined as one voice for a concert tour across Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. This led to a three-day recording project where a sixteen-track album was recorded.

In July that same year, the Missouri State University Chamber Choir embarked on a concert tour across South Africa. Their first concert was in Pretoria with the University of Pretoria Camerata.

Join us as we share how this once-in-a-lifetime experience came to life and how it has impacted students and audiences alike.
