Encore Tours recently introduced Music Travel Re-Imagined; a series of extraordinary new travel itineraries designed to guarantee that your next travel experience is safe, engaging, and full of all the fun we are missing right now. For nearly three decades, we have delivered life-changing performance tours in remarkable venues across the world. During this time, we have worked tirelessly to build a vast musical network with our incredible overseas partners. We pride ourselves on delivering unforgettable experiences to all of our travelers, however, this pandemic has forced everybody in the travel industry to think creatively to provide safe and innovative alternatives for travelers. As part of our Music Travel Re-Imagined series, we have developed exclusive new Music Appreciation itineraries to provide individuals with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities including tickets to performances in Europe’s most historic venues, private concerts and receptions, and access to various musical highlights that are typically off-limits to the public. These tours are limited to 20 participants, with all payments fully refundable through March 1, 2021. On Tuesday, December 8th, we hosted an information session about our newest itinerary: A Musical Journey Through Central Europe. This 10-day tour is filled with extraordinary events, as we pull back the red curtain and provide behind-the-scenes access to some of the region’s most breathtaking venues. A brief sample of the tour highlights include: A private chamber concert at the historic Estates TheaterAn exclusive talk and organ recital at the ThomaskircheAn intimate discussion with the music director of the Semperoper DresdenTickets to five incredible performances in exquisite venues across Central EuropeAnd much more… Featuring the trips’ Tour Manager, Peter Ede, our Encore Tour Consultants, and John Tregellas, Encore’s Head of Operations in Central Europe, this info session provided attendees with an opportunity to chat with the Encore team, learn new about this exciting new offering, and virtually explore musically and culturally rich cities throughout Central Europe. For anybody who was unable to attend the event, the recording of this meeting is available below. (Note: Please skip to the 3:00 mark for the start of the presentation) We will be adding new dates, destinations, and itineraries in the near future, so please sign up to receive the latest updates on all of our music appreciation tours.
