    In January 2006 USM Concert Chorale members undertook a 10-day choir pilgrimage to Italy, which included performances at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice and for Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in Rome.

    "At USM we expose our students to great music and provide numerous opportunities for them to develop their musical skills through studio instruction, ensemble participation and public performances."
