Belgium is just a stone’s throw from the UK, making it the perfect destination for a short tour. Most Belgian towns and cities have beautiful old centres based on historic market squares which are a great starting point for exploring each place.

Belgium’s most famous musical export is the saxophone. Visit Dinant, the home of its inventor Adolf Sax.
César Franck was born in Liège
Our trip was a great success and the pupils all had a terrific time. The concerts were well received and we enjoyed all our performances immensely - the churches in particular were very special venues. The whole trip offered a very rewarding combination of musical performance and cross-curricular educational engagement, whilst at the same time providing a recreational element that balanced the trip nicely.
