This poster was plastered on billboards throughout Italy (Lazio, Umbria, Tuscany, and Veneto) as Bob Shafer led a group of 24 singers, including a chamber choir of 12 singers, in concerts in Rome, Florence, San Gimignano, Orvieto, Venice, and Assisi. We were all members of The Oratorio Society of Washington, precursor of The City Choir. We sang in many world-famous churches, including St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. We also crashed an ongoing wedding in Florence and were invited to sing on the spot. This was all part of Bob's 1982 tour, which long preceded later City Choir tours to France, Spain, England, and Central and Eastern Europe, on which he took larger ensembles. Bass I Dick Morrison satisfies a lifelong desire to be in the Danube River by sticking his hand in. (Taken in Budapest during 1998 European tour) Contributed by chamber singer bass Dick Morrison
Dear Bob, Listening to the “Moments of Christmas” video, I was reminded of one of the biggest blessings in my life - my City Choir family!! Here’s to our coming back together soon to make beautiful music under your brilliant and inspired leadership Bob. With love and gratitude, Amy XO Amy Solomon presents Bob with the Choir's gift, an archival photo of Nadia Boulanger, at the celebration of his 50 years of conducting in Washington, D.C. in May 2018
