Festival Itineraries
Music Celebrations International (MCI) knows that many choirs singing in the festival will want to explore and experience some of the many musically and culturally significant cities in the Baltics. MCI is also able to help balanced choirs perform in stand-alone concerts as part of the American Celebration of Music in the Baltics concert series.
Below are examples of possible post-festival itineraries to consider. Remember that MCI is more than happy to use these as a starting point to then create a completely customized tour for you and your choir.
