Inspire your ensemble with a school music tour of the Rhineland, a German paradise for music lovers.
The Rhineland, a complete paradise for music lovers, is home to major concert events, including a jazz festival in the summer and Bonn’s Beethovenfest. The region has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famous for its cathedrals and monasteries.
The equally picturesque Moselle Valley is known for its wine towns such as Cochem and Trier, and provides stunning outdoor performance opportunities in town squares and at local wine festivals.
This is the heart of fairy tale Germany, where you'll find enchanting forests, bewitching castles and charming towns and villages.
Beethoven was born in the area (in the city of Bonn), and a visit to the composer's birthplace (now home to a small museum) is often a popular inclusion on our groups' itineraries. And make sure you don't miss out on an opportunity to enjoy a river cruise - it's the best way to see the region's spectacular landscape.
Where can we perform around the Rhine & Moselle?
The Rhine & Moselle is a popular choice among our groups because of the exciting variety of performance venues here. You can choose to perform in lively market squares or at a charming bandstand. Or you could even choose to perform at the magnificent Cologne Cathedral.
During the summer, the area plays host to several wine festivals, where music always plays an integral part. Your ensemble can perform at one of these festivals, which will not only be an exciting performance experience but will also give them a unique insight into the local culture.
