My exciting American jaunts!

Still - those do sound like probable venues. (Woo, Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan - that's gonna be impressive.)
I think I see the obvious reason why there's no trips beyond the East Coast of the US (besides money and logistics): the Anglican church didn't take root beyond the old colonies. (For example: my little town of Merrill has about five or six Lutheran churches of various synods, and only one Catholic church - and I think only one Episcopalian church.

Paul is correct, I'm at Newnham College, Cambridge (that is incidentally my address too! If you send things addressed to May, Newnham College, Cambridge, they will find their way to me, which I think is ridiculous. I feel like maybe the Queen and I are equals in the eyes of Royal Mail)(except that she is the Royal part obviously).
We're an Anglican choir so I dunno.
jwhouk:
Well, obviously, the problem started over here about 1775-76 with the Anglican Church.
Still - the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul (aka The National Cathedral) is a pretty impressive place to play (and it is an Episcopalian Church). Hopefully it will be reopened by the time your choir comes to sing there.
Just don't be surprised when you start singing God Save The Queen and everyone in the audience starts singing with different lyrics... ;)

I really hope it doesn't take them almost a year to fix those spires... But the whole, earthquake > spires break / bring crane to fix spires > crane gets blown over, thing is not too encouraging.
Carl-E:
Considering it took over 80 years to build the thing (without pause), and they're still evaluating the structural damage, it may be awhile...
