The chorus has performed in such locations as New York City’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Festival Hall, and major venues in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and France. In June 2022 the Mastersingers embarked on a concert tour to the United Kingdom, which culminated with a choral evensong at the venerable St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The Mastersingers returned to New York’s Carnegie Hall in June 2023 where they performed Mozart’s Requiem under the baton of Dr. Yoojin Muhn. The chorus embarked on a tour to Austria and the Czech Republic in the Summer of 2024.
