Student Tour Program

Our student tour program, American Music Abroad Honor Bands, Choirs & Orchestras, is a cultural performance tour of Western Europe for high school age musicians.

Student participants are carefully selected on the basis of recommendations from their school directors and/or musical achievement demonstrated on an audition tape or compact disc. We expect our students to project a positive image of American youth as well as be skilled musicians.

Our bands, jazz bands, choirs and orchestras have received warm receptions and outstanding reviews at concerts in some of Europe's finest halls and cathedrals. We believe that music is truly an "international language". Our concerts provide a basis to bridge the gap between languages and cultures so that, at least on the musical level, the participants and audience connect and communicate.

American Music Abroad Honor Bands, Choirs and Orchestras strives to not only give the participating students an expanded view of the world and an exceptional music performance experience, but also encourages self-reliance within a group atmosphere. It is our goal to see the students grow into responsible and mature young adults as a result of the tour.
