Members of Exeter Univeristy's Choral Society have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York.
The choral society, which is made up from a mixture of students, staff and community members, will sing at the prestigious Manhattan concert venue on January 19.
They will join up with a number of other international music groups to form the Distinguished Concerts Singers International and be part of the United States premier of Karl Jenkins's new work The Healer.
EUCS president Maria Liu, said: "It is a huge honour for the choir to be invited to perform in Carnegie Hall and a once in a lifetime opportunity for those members who are taking part.
"It is also a wonderful recognition for the talents we have in the choir and all the hard work we have put in to reach where we are today musically.
"I am sure all of us will enjoy and benefit from this experience immensely, being excited is an understatement."
The society were picked for the honour after Jeffery Thyer, director of programming at Distinguished Concerts International New York, came across their performance of Karl Jenkins's The Armed Man, which EUCS performed at Exeter Cathedral in March.
There is a chance to see EUCS before they head out to New York as they are performing Faure's Requiem at Exeter University's Great Hall on Friday, December 5. Tickets can be bought on the door or reserved at euchoraltickets@gmail.com.
