Day Eight – Traveling to Vienna
Hi everyone! Today was a busy day for those of us on the MYO 2018 Europe Tour. We met up with chaperones and friends for breakfast somewhere between 7 and 7:30 AM, and by 8:00 AM rooms were being checked and people were heading down to the lobby. Our groups were assembled for a headcount
Day Nine – Vienna and Concert Four
Hello everyone and welcome to your virtual tour of Vienna! I’m totally kidding, but I hope through this post I can give you a taste of the tours we had today in Vienna’s city center.
The MYO tour members’ day began at 7:00 AM or so for a breakfast buffet in the lobby.
Day Ten – Final Day in Vienna
Good morning everyone! Today is our last day in Vienna and I am truly devastated. I have absolutely LOVED Vienna and everything it has to offer.
This morning began with a tour of the Vienna State Opera House.
Day Eleven – Haydn and Budapest
Today we left Vienna at 8:15 AM. Most of us were sad to leave, Vienna has been such a wonderful place to visit and our concert at St. Stephen’s has by far been one of our favorite performances as MYO members.
On our way to Budapest, we made a stop in Eisenstadt
Day Twelve – Our Final Concert
Hello, everyone and welcome to my recount of our first full day in Budapest, Hungary. After last night’s river cruise, I could not wait to get the day started.
