Hello! My name is Ryan McIntosh, and I am currently a second-year undergraduate studying Voice and Vocal Music Education at Missouri State University.

This summer, I have received the incredible opportunity to spend two weeks in South Africa with the Missouri State Chamber Choir. It will be my first time traveling outside of the United States!

During our time in South Africa, we will perform in collaborative concerts across the country, including in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Stellenbosch. We will also have the chance to explore the beautiful cities of South Africa, camp in Kruger National Park, and more!

I am so excited to have the opportunity to visit a different country and a different continent for the first time! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience a new culture and way of life firsthand. However, this tour involves signficant costs (e.g., travel costs, housing accommodations, day-to-day expenses). Your support would put me one step closer to making this incredible opportunity a reality, and one step closer to my dream of sharing music with beautiful people from around the world.

Every contribution is appreciated no matter the amount. I am deeply grateful for your generosity and support in helping make this opportunity possible.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
