Join me, Dianne Donovan, for an unforgettable classical music experience as we cruise down the beautiful blue Danube this October! Discover the charming markets, grand opera houses, and world class museums of Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna alongside fellow KMFA listeners! Celebrate the genius of Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven, Bach, and Schumann by visiting the very places where these great composers lived, loved, and worked. Tour the capitals of classical music in Central Europe through the eyes of the artists themselves, from a private concert in Vienna’s Mozarthaus to an exclusive a tour of the Liszt Academy in Budapest. Our journey begins with a 3-day adventure in Prague followed by a glorious 7-night sail down the Danube through Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest. You won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind classical music getaway with friends of KMFA.
Musically yours,
Dianne Donovan
