Earlier this year, we introduced Encore Experiences — an innovative music appreciation concept, that provides individual travelers with privileged access to some of Europe’s most incredible musical and cultural destinations. As part of Encore Experiences, we are able to offer a series of special guest designed programs led by a variety of musical influencers and leaders in their field. We have partnered with several accomplished individuals who have been generous enough to share their passion and expertise as they embark on unique musical journeys to spectacular international destinations. In collaboration with Phil Aguglia, an award-winning band director and owner of PaGu Batons, we recently launched our brand-new program to Rome and Sicily. This thoughtfully designed program includes a number of musical and cultural highlights including a conducting workshop with Professor Mirko Caruso, a performance by a local folk music ensemble, a visit to the Greek Amphitheatre in Syracuse, tickets to an outdoor concert in Rome, dinner at a Michelin starred restaurant in Ragusa Ibla, and many other wonderful surprises. On Monday, December 6th, we held an informational webinar to discuss this incredible 10-day journey, breakdown the itinerary in detail, and answer questions from the audience. If you were unable to attend, please schedule a video call with one of our representatives to learn more. There are a number of opportunities available for individual travelers who are inspired by a deeper interaction with the people and places that produce world-class music. In addition to our guest-designed programs, we are also delighted to offer the Encore Collection. These innovative, exclusive, and authentic programs have been meticulously crafted by the team at Encore to provide travelers with a unique ability to profoundly connect with the music and destinations that they cherish.
