Rhine and Moselle Valleys School Music Tours

Steeped in legend and history

The Rhine and Moselle Valleys are both very popular and successful destinations for our young performing groups. These two regions sit next to each other and are bound together by the confluence of the two rivers at Koblenz. The Rhineland, with its sweeping vineyards, quaint halftimbered houses and imposing castles, is steeped in legend and history. The Moselle Valley, quieter and less scenically dramatic than its neighbour, is no less interesting; the wine town of Cochem has a lively atmosphere and an imposing castle, while the Roman city of Trier with its mighty city gate, the Porta Nigra, makes an interesting excursion.

Both offer similar venues which include well equipped spa halls, bandstands in spa and town parks and churches. In addition to this region’s many beautiful churches and spa towns, groups can also give a recital at Cologne Cathedral (sacred choirs only) or take part in one of the wine festivals.

How to Choose your Music Tour Destination

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at your rehearsals and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have a promotional poster to put up around your school, which you can download here. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.

You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to find the best possible venues for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.

Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.
