A school music tour to the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ offers a truly unique experience!
Your ensemble will have the opportunity to perform at some of Prague's most famous sites, such as the Main Square and St Nicholas Church. You may also like to consider a trip to Western Bohemia, renowned for its beautiful countryside and spa towns. Here, more informal performances can be held in the Colonnades of Karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne. Your chamber choir may have the honour to accompany the Prague Conservatoire Orchestra and be part of their workshops led by their director of Choral Education.
