MCI FAM Tour to Budapest & Vienna!
Several staff members at Music Celebrations recently participated in our annual “FAM Tour”, which took us to Budapest, Eisenstadt & Vienna in preparation of the big 2009 Haydn year.
Highlights of the time in Budapest were visits to wonderful venues including the Liszt Hall, St. Margaret’s School, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Mathias Church and the Hungarian Culture Center.
Highlights of Eisenstadt were visits to Esterhazy Palace, the Haydnsaal, Haydn’s house, and Bergkirche (where Haydn’s body is laid to rest).
Highlights of Vienna included the House of Music, the Hofburg with its collection of musical instruments, Schonbrunn Palace, Vienna Konzerthaus (Haydn Festival venue) and the Piaristenkeller restaurant, where we donned hats from the Hapsburg Empire era.
We are all very excited about the 2009 year and exciting Haydn Festivals we are organizing. All will be fantastic events!
