Expert's comment

“Groups can perform in beautiful spa resorts, bandstands and town squares along the Rhine and Moselle rivers, where they will receive a warm welcome and can perform in a safe, relaxed environment. The spa resorts are a perfect venue to avoid concerts being ‘rained off’ as they usually both offer a lovely outdoor space in the gardens and an indoor concert hall!”

The All Saints Anglican Church in Cologne is a beautiful venue with lovely acoustics. The support from the church was fantastic, and we had a very warm reception from the audience. They were appreciative of our playing and many audience members approached pupils at the end to congratulate them and thank them. I couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough!
