Happy Holidays and cheers for a great 2017

Clients, colleagues, friends

Let’s say goodbye to 2016 confident that together we’ll continue finding ways to share the love, intensity and beauty of music around the world as we have over previous years.

The KI family honors your talent, your dedication and your vision. Good people, resolute in partnership, can achieve anything. We look forward to continuing to serve your community of performers and the good people of our musical world as we stage concerts on 4 continents in the traditional destinations of Europe as well as the newer ones such as Vietnam, Cuba and Iceland.

We are indebted to our Festival Leaders for directing our festivals around the globe – from Rome to Sydney, Dublin to Vienna and many cities in between. They are some of the finest conductors, directors, music educators on the planet and we are thrilled to be able to present them to you in this unique way.

We celebrate your spirit from world premieres in the Sydney Opera House, singing Masses at the Vatican, presenting the Evensong choir at Westminster Abbey through to countless other performances in grand venues with appreciative audiences as well as more intimate exchange concerts in community settings with local ensembles.

May the holiday season shine kindly on you and may we have the continuing privilege of your friendship and collaboration in the years ahead.

Fondly
The KI team

PS We are open between Christmas and New Year as we know that is a great time for some people to be thinking about their next tour.

Cuba-USA…Voces Unidas–Voices United choir festival with Henry Leck & Alina Orraca, June 2018

Dear Friends

Alina Orraca and I are delighted to join in inviting you to Cuba to sing in Voces Unidas/Voices United - a festival of great choral music for mixed choirs.

School, youth and college choirs will especially enjoy workshops, exchanges, rehearsals and two significant combined concerts with Cuban choristers… the people of two lands singing Voces Unidas! This will be a unique coming together of Cuban and U.S. musical talent.

Cuba abounds with culture and the Cuban spirit is imbued with rhythm and song. There has never been a more dynamic time to get to know Cuba; to hear its sounds and to see the friendship grow between the people of both countries.

We welcome you to Unite in Voice in this festival of spirit and goodwill!

European tours cheaper as the US Dollar strengthens against the Pound/Euro

A place of timeless musical offerings

Europe and the UK haven’t been cheaper in years. We continue to be able to cut the price of European concert tours as the dollar strengthens against a declining Pound and Euro.

We welcome the chance to prepare quotes for you based on the changing exchange rates - packaging the European concert tours of your dreams – safely, interactively, culturally and more cheaply!.

CUSTOM TOURS
Central Europe

A land of riches in its own right including Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, Budapest, the diversity of Germany and countless welcoming towns in between.

Southern Europe

Italy, Spain, Greece and much more. Sing at St. Peter’s in the Vatican, cruise the canals of Venice, admire Florence and perform alongside Italian choirs in the rolling hills of Tuscany. Spain tantalizes for instance with Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia while Greece still feels as though it cradles civilization itself.

Northern Europe

Another world of long summer days, distinct cultures and unique singing traditions. Estonia/Latvia & Lithuania make up the Baltics, Finland and Sweden just a ferry away while Poland and Scandinavia have their own unique appeals.

UK/Republic of Ireland

The British Isles offers choirs so much:
Ireland’s lyrical beauty,
the distinct culture of Wales,
Scotland’s Highlands and
Britain’s jewel in the crown…London.
