Music Tours
Music tours are classic small-group holidays, comparable in style to what you would expect from an art, or gastronomy, or garden tour with MRT: no more than 22 people, staying in the same hotel or hotels, and a single lecturer. MRT provides top-category tickets to public concerts, either pre-existing festivals or a seasonal opera programme. All our small-group tours are led by expert lecturers, chosen for their companionability and communication skills as well as their scholarship.
