We love our work with students of all ages and know the value of intercultural and international experiences in travel and music! We welcome women s ensembles, men s ensembles as well as mixed choirs utilizing our work with female and male voices separately and together. We will present individual choir concerts and we will combine to sing as a festival choir - our echoes will join those from across the ages. We ll walk in the footsteps of the masters, we will immerse ourselves in the world from which much of our great music springs and we will enjoy the appreciation of warm audiences in commanding venues. Austria is not to be missed by any musician and this will be a great experience for all of us! We are very excited about this and hope that you will consider summer of 2017!
