As one of 11 Global Participants, his selection followed a demanding audition process that evaluated his singing, vocal abilities, and sightreading skills.
From a young age, Travis has been immersed in choral music, starting in children’s choirs at age four, and progressing to the flagship choir at his university, which participated in the World Choral Olympics in Latvia and the Global Choral Symposium in Spain.
During his visit to Salt Lake City, Travis and the other global participants learned about the rich 170-year history of the Tabernacle Choir from former conductor Craig Jessop.
