ESSENTIAL ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES

When asked by CondéNast Traveller: “Are there similarities between music and travel”, Yo-Yo Ma, the virtuoso cellist replied: “Music is ephemeral. You can’t hold on to it, but at the same time the content is all about the value of life. One way of understanding people is to understand their music. Similarly, to get inside a place, you’ve got to not only know a place as a physical space but also get inside the people’s minds. Traveling gives you that kind of insight.”

Incantato specializes in performance tours to Europe because we believe in doing what we know best and we enjoy working with choirs. We care about your upcoming performance tour and we can help you take the necessary steps to get there. By combining excellent travel, concert organizers and a professional marketing team with professional musicians and music educators as part of our full-time staff and advisory team, we set ourselves apart from our competitors.

Our concert managers continuously strive to develop and foster relationships with fellow organizers, musicians and music fans to ensure that every group travelling with us to Europe will be warmly welcomed by an appreciative audience and has the opportunity to perform in just the right venue. The list of Incantato’s cooperations with churches, classic venues and concerts halls and even exotic venues like amphitheatres, composer’s birthplaces, castles and monasteries is long and still growing. We look forward to talking with you and hearing about your hopes and expectations for your next journey.
