Previous efficacious trips contributed for Schola Cantorum Jubilate to obtain a name for itself and success for all that it entails. After accepting the Xagħra Local Council invitation, Schola Cantorum Jubilate was off on its forth trip: this time to Chevaigné in France. This choir is proud to state that it had several opportunities of singing in several privileged churches and Cathedrals. Apart from the cultural visits and tours around the regions of Brittany and Normandy during the four days of stay, Schola Cantorum Jubilate sang in the Parish Church of St. Pierre of Chevaigné, in the Cathedral of Rennes and in Saint Pierre Parish Church in Mont Saint Michel. The choir was praised by all the listeners who were awestruck with the supreme quality of music.
After the success of the musico-cultural trip in Rome and Assisi of 2007, Schola Cantorum Jubilate organized its next trip…this time to Austria.
