The Capella of Calvin College and its director, Calvin professor of music Joel Navarro, will be returning to Grand Rapids on Wednesday, June 4 from an international tour of the Netherlands and France.
And the choir's homecoming will see the Capella having added a prestigious title to its already lofty list of accomplishments since its founding in 1935.
In addition to concerts and church services in the Netherlands and France, the Capella took part in an international vocal competition: the 37th annual Florilege Vocal de Tours Competition, in Tours, France. There 21 choirs from 20 countries competed over three days in a variety of categories.
The Capella earned a pair of third-place medals, being so honored in both the Mixed Choirs category and the Free Program category.
