Are you a choral or instrumental director considering a performance tour with your ensemble? Encore Tours has put together an incredible offer to show you all the wonderful opportunities and experiences available for you and your musicians in Eastern Europe.

This June, Encore will host a 7-day familiarization (FAM) trip for directors to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary to explore the culture, food and numerous fantastic venues that would welcome your ensemble. We’ll even take you to a concert of one of our traveling groups so you can see our operation in action and the outstanding venues and audiences we provide.

The package includes: round-trip air, 5 nights lodging in single rooms in centrally located 4-star hotels, all meals and transportation, local sightseeing, visits to 15+ concert venues and the services of a professional tour manager throughout.

Travel dates are June 5-11, 2019 and the price for all this is only $1,500 which is an amazing deal on its own. However, we will credit that money back to you if you bring your ensemble on any international trip with Encore in 2020 or 2021.
