The Ambassadors of Music tour offers young musicians an unparalleled opportunity to explore the best of Europe. This 15-day tour includes five countries, with once-in-a-lifetime cultural experiences, including performances in historic venues.
This year’s tour included England, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, with the Ambassadors band and choir performing community concerts in each country. The Ambassadors also got time to explore several cities, including London and Paris, along with taking sights of some of the beautiful natural wonders of the area, including the Alps Mountains and the Matterhorn (seen below).
