CUSC enjoys trips and performances abroad, for example, to Florence, Prague, Tallinn, Rome, Lisbon and, most recently, Paris. Recent works in the choir’s repertoire include William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast in Paris, Handel’s Messiah, the Verdi and Mozart Requiems, Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius.
