Wiener Rathaus Closing Ceremonies

Closing ceremonies at the Wiener Rathaus.
The first portion is the impromtu singing, in multiple languages, while waiting for the ballroom to open.
The 2nd portion is the singing of the European Hymn (Schiller's "Ode to Joy"), led by our director, Kristin Young, and accompanied by our accompanist, Rosemary Hauser. They were asked to lead the mass chorus.....what an honor!
The 3rd portion is our choir singing a closing piece. Many of the choirs sang a piece after the closing speeches. The audience response (during the Rathaus concert) was so favorable to our rendition of "Go Tell It on the Mountain", that the organizers asked us to sing it again after the closing.
