Join Larry Wyatt’s Budapest/Vienna choir festival - May 2016


I am so pleased to have been asked to conduct a festival performance in Budapest, Hungary in late May, 2016.

Budapest is a beautiful city on the Danube with a rich cultural heritage. Since the 1990’s Budapest has made great strides in modernizing while maintaining the charm and somewhat exotic characteristics of its interesting history. Before the Romans the city was a Celtic community – later it was a center of Renaissance culture - eventually the Ottomans ruled the area for 150 years. Each of these civilizations left their stamp on the city.

I am proposing that we perform either Mozart “Sparrow Mass” or Haydn “Lord Nelson Mass” as our combined festival repertoire. I will consult with registering Directors prior to finalizing the repertoire.

I look forward to exploring this unique city and to working with an outstanding festival choir and orchestra.

I hope that you will join me

Dr. Larry Wyatt

Keep Calm and Keep Singing - the UK - and Galván & Sharkova Ireland choir festivals in 2016

KIconcerts: UK/Ireland performance tours

By ‘royal decree’ ensembles from around North America are commanded to entertain the citizens of the British Isles.


Concerts in London, exchanges in Wales, performances in Scotland. Festivals and charming good value abound in the Republic of Ireland while Northern Ireland is again open for international performance visitors after decades.

From the place where ‘pomp and circumstance’ were invented come invitations to perform at awe inspiring Cathedrals, to stage exchange concerts, become friends with others that speak (a form of) English, and to participate in two great festivals in Ireland.

June 2016 Rural Ireland & Dublin with Elena Sharkova
  • Children, youth and school choirs
  • Mid June
  • Sing alongside Irish choristers
  • Whimsical rural Ireland and Dublin

July 2016 Belfast & Dublin with Janet Galván
  • Students, youth choirs and community ensembles
  • Early July
  • Warmly welcoming Canadian ensembles too
  • Discover Belfast and explore Dublin

The loyal subjects of the Queen’s realm seek your presence for an audience as do the citizens of the Republic of Ireland!

Sing Italy/St Peter's Basilica - Hella Johnson Festival - under $3000 tours in Dec/Jan

To sing in Italy is to come home to music.


Commanding Rome, the Florence Renaissance, Venetians sailing the world from Venice: Pompeii, Sicily, the Tuscan hills, Cinque Terra, Lake Como and so much more.

Imagine singing Mass at St Peter’s, exchanging with a hilltop community choir in Tuscany, exploring Florence, performing in Venice near St. Mark’s Square. There are countless memorable spaces for concerts in front of warm and engaged audiences.

Tour the Sistine Chapel, marvel at the Coliseum; taste the food - eat pizzas from the place of their origin, sample all the gelato flavors and savor pasta just as it was invented. More than all else hear the sounds of the music, the language and the rich resonant history

Henry Leck • South of France

Staging tours for children and young singers requires special pacing, guiding, food, hotel and touring arrangements.

The musical opportunities also need to be top notch delivering memorable singing moments in great venues as individual choirs and under charismatic and talented leadership for the combined elements.
