Jamie Spillane ’87 MM, associate professor of music and director of choral studies, directs UConn’s Concert Choir singing “Unclouded Day” in front of the Florence Cathedral. The 67 choir members spent spring break participating in the American Celebration of Music in Austria and Italy, which included memorable performances in Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, and under Michelangelo’s most famous painting, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.
“We sang in beautiful churches filled with rich history and magnificent architecture . . . we sang on the streets of Venice, Florence, and Rome. In each place, I witnessed the joy brought to the strangers who happened to stumble upon us,” says Erin Brochu ’21 (CLAS).

These voices are so beautiful that words can not capture their power.
I have been away from UCONN for many years. Having played basketball at UConn and having coached both on the University and Professional ranks, I must say I was so very impressed and taken by the Uconn Choir and their European tour. Besides the excellence of the Choirs singing ability, the “ PASSION” I observed in the You Tube video was so very
“SPECIAL” … BRAVO….. great representation of the University. Great to see UCONN in a light of joy, happiness and wholesome fellowship.
