In the spirit of Gitameit, the Yale Spizzwinks are working with the Gitameit Music Center in Rangoon, Burma to bring a choir to the United States in 2008. It will be the first ever visit of a Burmese choir to the US.

Who is involved?

So far our major supporters are the Yale Spizzwinks and the Yale Spizzwinks Alumni Association, but we need your help too! We’ll need to purchase plane tickets, set up home-stays, find performance opportunities and secure visas for the performers.
