In the summer of 1973, thirty-eight members of the Los Angeles Valley College Chamber Chorale, under the direction of Richard A. Knox, traveled to Autun, France to represent the United States at Europa Cantat V, the Festival of the European Federation of Young Choirs. Thankfully, one of our choir members, Clifford Witte, made an 8mm movie of our trip.Cliff added a soundtrack with music recorded from our concert in Autun, to complete the movie. Bob Vincent transferred the film to VHS, DVD, and eventually .mp4 format for the Internet.
