Tour Time can partner with you to design a Music Appreciation tour that will thrill and excite; touring through the famous concert halls of UK/Europe or closer to home.
Your tour will be hosted by a “Music Maestro” who will share their knowledge, not only of the music but of the wonderful concert venues and their history. Your tour host and tour leader will remain with you 24/7. A local guide will always accompany you and all concerts etc. will be pre-arranged for you.
A good place to start is beautiful Vienna with sights such as Holburg Palace, the impressive State Opera, and the recently renovated Saint Stephen’s Cathedral where there are many evening concerts held. A visit to the Bosendorfer Piano Factory, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour to learn about the 6-year process it takes to craft each grand piano. A guided tour of the Central Cemetery of Vienna – see the graves of many famous musicians such as Beethoven, Salieri, Schubert and Brahms; an audio tour of Schönbrunn Palace; attend a concert at the Musikverein, Konzerthaus or Staatsoper Wien. Vienna – home to the famous Vienna Boys Choir.
Salsburg is a must stop to see Mozart’s Birthplace and some of the Sound of Music sights. The local choir, Chord’Accord has a unique soundpainting performance followed by a talk from their conductor, Anita Biebl.
Prague is calling; a concert at the Rudolfinum Concert Hall, the Municipal House, or the famous Smetana Concert hall. Of course all of these wonderful visits and concerts are dispersed with leisure time and sightseeing in these beautiful and historic places.
