Friends,

I invite you to consider making one of the best tour decisions in your career – the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) or Mediterranean coast of southeastern France….Monaco, Nice, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence – charming villages, a highly regarded cultural scene, and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And, it’s over the December holiday – December 26 to the beginning of the new year – Mediterranean warm weather, less expensive time for travel, and a great time to tour, sing and perform. Of course, one could extend their tour to Milan, Barcelona, or other nearby popular destinations. The tour will be two-pronged - attractive individual touring/concerts and a festival "anchor" concert with me, culminating in an option for each ensemble to be individually featured, and then combined in a 30-minute festival program....a great package with less preparation stress. This is my 24th overseas festival, and we will give you the best possible festival/concerts. KI Concerts will coordinate everything from A-Z, and you will be in the best of hands.

I look forward to having you on board!
