The University of Washington Chamber Singers and Chorale is currently en route to Tallinn from Seattle to present a series of choral concerts in Estonia and Latvia. The 75 singers, directed by UW music professors Giselle Wyers and Geoffrey Boers, will deliver five lively performances during their one-week Baltic tour.
