Our Purpose

“An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.” – Vincent van Gogh 1853-1890

The Touring Ensembles Program exists to impact and inspire everyone involved; the ensemble members, fellow and future students, the community, alumni and supporters as well as the rest of the world, in many different ways.

Academic Achievement

The members of our ensembles are committed to excellence in both skill development and performance of their art. By performing on-campus, locally, and internationally our ensemble members are given the opportunity to enhance and refine their skills and talents, as well as their performance delivery, while gaining academic credit.

Leadership and Ministry Experience

Touring Ensembles are a great opportunity for students to gain valuable leadership experience through interaction with their community and the world; through performance as well personal interaction with the public. As well, Touring Ensembles provide students with the opportunity to discover how art can impact their world and inspire change.

Future Students

While performing in the community, and on tour, our ensemble members provide a real life example of the academic excellence and character development we strive for at Providence. Through this example, future students can gain perspective on the exciting opportunities available at Providence College.

Service

The Providence Touring Ensembles exist to serve both the church and community. We believe that our Ensembles can and will have a significant impact on their audiences through inspirational and creative communication. Touring Ensembles and their members encourage and inspire their audiences, through the expression of their artistic talents and by personal interaction with the public.
