Your choir will have the opportunity to perform twice, once as part of the cycle of performance for an approximate 30-minute duration and secondly as part of the joint concert where choirs perform 1-2 songs.  There is plenty of time for choirs to arrange sightseeing tours and to see all this wonderful city has to offer.
