Greece
July 21-28

Welcome to a groundbreaking project where we redefine the boundaries of musical experiences. We are excited to take you on a journey that transcends traditional concert settings and immerses you in the harmony of nature. Our mission is to unite the world through the universal language of music, and we believe there's no better place to do this than in the breathtaking landscapes of Greece.

 
This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.
— LEONARD BERNSTEIN

Yacht tour around the Ionian Islands of Greece

Sigá-sigá, or take it easy the Greek way.

Another adventure within the framework of the World Musical Expeditions project will take place in the Ionian Sea. Yes, gentlemen, at sea. Greece is too diverse and interesting to stay in one place. Therefore, with you, we will board a white yacht, set sail, and head towards music, freedom, and impressions.

Over the course of a week, we will visit several islands, some of which you have definitely heard of: Ithaca, Lefkas, Kefalonia. Homer wrote about them, Byzantium, Naples, and Venice fought over them for three hundred years in a row. But that was in the past. In the present, we will find cozy coves, magical beaches, turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea, secret concerts in incredible locations, and, of course, sigá-sigá.

Sigá-sigá is the main principle of a happy Greek life. The right to be free from fuss, to have a cup of coffee in the middle of a working day, to have a three-hour lunch – the right to live slowly in order to have time to savor this beautiful life. Our program is designed to see a lot, but not to forget to enjoy: the sea, the sun, long Greek feasts, great company, and amazing music.

what awaits us?

  • A week on a yacht with an experienced skipper;

  • 4 concerts by our musicians in interesting locations;

  • Champagne party at an old lighthouse;

  • The most beautiful sunset in Greece on Myrtos Beach;

  • Barbecue party on a secret abandoned beach.
