All Things New: Touring Choir Hits The Road

The Hillcrest Academy Touring Choir is embarking on their All Things New Tour, a journey of music and worship spanning March through May 2026. The Touring Choir 2026 theme, ‘All Things New,’ is the whisper that promises to rise above the noise of our most difficult days, neither ignoring the heaviness, nor letting it have the last word. Based on the power of 2 Corinthians 5:17: ‘Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation,’ this is not just a spiritual makeover, but a complete rebirth.

The tour begins with a series of local concerts, where the choir is visiting several community churches. These local performances serve as a foundational part of the tour, allowing students to connect with supoorters and share their songs in familiar community settings.

The centerpiece of the tour schedule is always the Mennonite Schools Network (MSN) Choral Festival. This year is will be held from April 29 to May 2 and the choir is traveling to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, byway of Goshen, IN, to join voices from our sister schools at Rockway Mennonite Collegiate.
