Hygge: a Danish word for the cozy feeling that comes from making the quotidian beautiful. Thanks to it (and some stunning landscapes, historical palaces and dynamic music scenes), Denmark was ranked in 2013 as The Happiest Country on Earth. It can be combined with nearby Sweden or Norway as part of a Scandinavian tour, but with Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Odense home to beautiful concert venues, theaters and festivals, a tour to Denmark can be an unforgettable event all of its own.

Classical Movements has organized tours to Scandinavia for the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, College of William and Mary, Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, Yale Glee Club, Minnesota Orchestra, Os Violinos from the Lisbon Music Academy, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Choral Arts Society of Washington.

Testimonials

“The William & Mary Choir and I are so grateful to have had Classical Movements as a partner for our international tour. You brought us to welcoming and enthusiastic audiences, providing us with not one, but two expert and delightful tour directors. Our experiences—both musical and cultural—in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Tallinn are ones we will treasure for a long time to come. As you couple your special commitment to the performing arts with your organizational expertise, you play a vital role in helping to enlarge the vision and horizons of performer and audience alike.”

Dr. James Armstrong | Director of Choirs, College of William & Mary, 2002

“We enjoyed a comfortable flight itinerary, nice hotels, good meals, wonderful sightseeing, and most importantly great concerts.  Our venues included three stunning contemporary halls, an elegant baroque room, a delightful castle courtyard, and a beautiful spa town…We are all ready to do it again!  The Classical Movements staff was awesome!”

“The Glee Club’s 2011 150th anniversary tour through Europe was the most extensive tour we’ve put together and we could not have done it with Classical Movements expert and attentive work – from hotels and buses, to concert venues and publicity.”

“The warm reception from the French people restored energy and health, as did the raucously enthusiastic audiences, packed houses, rave reviews, radio broadcasts, and extended ovations…”

“The Wednesday flight from Barcelona to Lisbon had the most stringent bag restrictions yet, with hefty fines for those deemed too heavy. But the loaded-down musicians were allowed to board unimpeded. ‘Neeta worked her magic,’ murmured one.”

-Philadelphia Inquirer, David Patrick Stearns | Feb. 6, 2009

“The musical director and conductor of the Yale Glee Club said the group chose the destination ‘because of the wonderful friendships they discovered in Turkey.’ The Turkish word ‘dost’ (friends for life) is the reason we are performing in Istanbul,’ said Jeff Douma.”

-Hürriyet Daily News, Hatice Utkan | August 5, 2010

“We were met by friendly and caring guides who spoke excellent English and were sophisticated in matters relating to history, architecture and the way of life in Russia, both at the times of the czars and of the Soviet Union. A folkloric performance was of outstanding artistic quality.”
