One of our favourite music tour destinations
Budapest is a vastly diverse city with so many places of interest that it makes for a very exciting music tour. Famed for its folk music and composers such as Bartok, Kodaly and Liszt, it is unsurprising that the city boasts such a rich cultural heritage, and musical ensembles are warmly received. Its fascinating and varied history is visible through the grand buildings of the Golden Age such as the Royal Palace and Parliament building, whilst the Fisherman’s Bastion offers an impressive view over the city. With fantastic venues and good value accommodation, Budapest is one of our favourite music tour destinations.

Along the Danube bend there are also numerous towns and villages with pretty churches and town squares, providing real hospitality and the chance to explore beyond the capital city. We have also arranged for some of our groups to perform in local festivals.

We understand that when you go on a music tour where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms generally en-suite.
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.
We accept any group as long as they are used to performing together as an ensemble, even if only to their fellow students and parents. We always ask for a recent recording of your group and we have range of venues on offer that will welcome beginner groups as well as experienced ensembles.
