TCC: Getting a view from abroad
Chorale's artistic director sees
group's first trip abroad since 1995
as 'a gift from the city of Dallas to
another community'
TAMMYENASH I Senior Editor
nash@dallasvoice.com
About 100 members of the Turtle Creek
Chorale will leave Thursday, July 1 for an 11-day
concert tour of Spain, with a schedule that puts
them in Madrid just in time for the city's annual
gay Pride celebration on July 3, the largest gay
Pride celebration in Europe.
"It's an evening parade, and they have more
than a million people who attend," said Jonathan
Palant, TCC'S artistic director. "We will get to
march in the parade and afterward we'll give a
performance on the main stage in Plaza de Es-
pana.''
The trip winds up TCC's 30th anniversary sea-
son, and Palant said its purpose is to celebrate the
anniversary and give Chorale members a treat,
but also to "take our mission abroad. This tour is
a gift from the city of Dallas to another commu-
nity. Not only will we get to experience their cul-
ture, they will get to experience a piece of our
culture, too,"
Palant said TCC has been working with the
Spanish Consulate for the southwest region of the
U.S. to plan the trip and make the proper connec-
tions. The group also takes with it an official letter
from Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, and has been in
touch with the U.S. Embassy in Spain to plan the
trip.
"We have an invitation to perform at the Em-
bassy while we are there," he said. "This is a trip
about outreach and good will. It's no secret that
international travel has really been down since 9-
11. Arts organizations are simply not taking on
this kind of activity right now.
" But I firmly believe that a trip like this not only
benefits the individual travelers making the trip
