DAAYO 2018 Austria Concert Tour Info

DAAYO Austria Trip Open Audition

DAAYO is heading to Austria from June 16, 2018 – June 23, 2018! This educational tour will feature two performances, 1 in Vienna, and 1 in Salzburg and lots of sightseeing. We have spots open for non-DAAYO members who wish to join – see below for details and registration signup link.

We’ll enjoy the sights and sounds of Vienna, a city that Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Strauss and Haydn all called home at one point. Revel at the Baroque majesty of Hapsburgs at the Schoenbrunn Palace and cruise along the scenic Danube river. After a few days of sightseeing, DAAYO will perform at the Rectorate Church of St. Peter, one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Vienna. After our concert we’ll also spend time in Melk, getting an opportunity to see the famous Benedictine Abbey. Then we’ll head to Salzburg on our private coach.

There we will see the Mirabell Gardens and visit the Baroque Old Town before performing an evening concert at the Mozart House (commonly known as the Mozarteum). We’ll wrap up our tour by spending a bit of time at splendid Lake Wolfgang.
