Willy's take on Spain!

I just returned from my first WBJC music tour - this one to Madrid and Barcelona. Although I wasn’t the only first timer, there were many in our group of 25 who had taken several trips and were glowing about all of them (hearing YoYo Ma playing Bach in Berlin was one of the tops). But ours had so many highlights - seeing Aida in Madrid after viewing Picasso’s “Guernica” at the Museu Reina Sofia... Read the rest and see all the great photos!

WBJC goes to Scotland! Join the indefatigable Jonathan Palevsky for another magical musical journey, this time to bonnie Scotland. The highlight is attendance at the 71st annual Edinburgh International Festival, arguably the world’s best arts festival, in one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals, Prime tickets including an opera, two orchestral concerts, and two recitals... and so much more!
