1988, Tour of Italy and Switzerland

The third choir tour was to Northern Italy and the Lugano area of Switzerland.

The trip included singing for a Eucharist in St Mark's Venice, when this photograph was taken.

Our link person for the tour was Robert Michaels, the organist of Lugano Cathedral, shown second-from-right in the photograph.
