Travel to Vienna with WorldStrides for the Summa Cum Laude Festival, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your large ensemble or chamber groups ranging from 2-8 performers. All groups, regardless of size, will have the opportunity to perform on the glittering stage of the hallowed Musikverein in Vienna, among other prestigious venues. The festival offers competitive and non-competitive options for a variety of ensembles. Hear ensembles from around the globe, interact with other talented young musicians, participate in workshops with renowned international instructors, and share your repertoire in more intimate local venues as well. When you're not performing, explore the city's historical and musical treasures, and culminate your experience with a final evening Gala concert and rousing reception.
