Swets in the Hall

About this original series

In May of 2008, the Capella of Calvin College set off on a 2-week tour of the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, culminating with the Florilège Vocal de Tours, a renowned international choral competition in Tours, France. Little did they know that a video crew was coming along to film behind the scenes. If you thought you knew the Capella, prepare to be shocked and amazed at what the men and women of Capella are really like...But seriously folks, "Swets in the Hall" is a bit of a behind the scenes look at Capella's 2-week tour of Europe, presented in a reality tv-like format. We hope you enjoy the show!
