France and Monaco (June 13 - 21, 2004)
In the Summer of 2000, the 2004 FNT & DITC Europe TOUR was just a concept, and 4 years later a reality. From June 13, 2004 through the 21st, under the baton of Maestro Juan RAMÍREZ-HERNÁNDEZ, 68 Atlanta musicians with the Atlanta Virtuosi Chorale (AVC), Bukhead Youth Orchestra (BYO), and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) gave concerts at the University campus of CAS (Campus Adventiste du Salève) in Collonges Sous Salève, France (7 k from Geneva, Switzerland), and in Monaco under the Patronage of Prince Albert of Monaco.

At the Collonges Sous Salève concert, the Atlanta musicians performed to a packed auditorium that gave them three standing ovations (the first ever in 20 years of performances in that auditorium). The audience was quite taken by the sounds of Suite Criolla by Maestro Juan RAMÍREZ-HERNÁNDEZ, an accomplished Mexican composer and member of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. At the Monaco Sporting in Monaco, AVC and BYO musicians’ “Sister Act” performance was based on American gospels, and was extremely well received.
