Since the 18th century, the lands encompassing the Danube River Valley—Austria, Hungary, and Germany—and the Czech Republic have bequeathed to the world an unparalleled musical legacy. The 1700s saw the creative genius of Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Josef Haydn, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In the 19th century, such musical titans as Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Frédéric François Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Antonín Dvorák reigned over the courts and orchestra halls of central Europe. This exclusive journey highlights the musical traditions of master composers and their enduring vitality. See the stage in Prague’s prestigious Estates Theatre where Mozart premiered his famous opera Don Giovanni and attend a private performance of the great composer’s works. Admire the world’s largest cathedral pipe organ

in Passau’s Cathedral of St. Stephan. View a collection of Beethoven’s original manuscripts and attend a private performance of classical music in Lobkowicz Palace. Stroll through the historic center of Vienna in the footsteps of Beethoven and Brahms, see the city’s famous Opera House, and attend a private performance of Mozart’s music at Sala Terrena, Vienna’s oldest concert hall.
