Dear Friends,

Each day, I plan on presenting to you 5 short profiles of different members of the Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Chamber Singers.

Today I bring you the four different section leaders and the tour manager.

What have you been looking forward to most about Italy?

I have been to Italy before so I have been excited to head back to the Trevi Fountain, and throw a coin in the fountain to help bring me back again.

What is your first impression of Italy?

The city of Rome and the countryside is very busy and everything is very full. While traveling country it is apparent to observe that so many cultures are represented in the population.

Matt Polum

Vocal Part: Tenor (Section Leader)


What was your first impression of Italy?

The lifestyle of the Italian people is completely different than it is in America. It is a real culture shock.

What are you looking forward to most about Italy?

I am looking forward to experiencing Ancient Rome. This place and the history is idealized by mostly everyone.
