Join Us and Celebrate 60 Years of The Sound of Music with an Unforgettable Singing Week & Film Tour in Austria’s Salzburg Region!
Embark on a musical journey where the hills truly come alive. This exclusive Sound Of Music holiday provides a high standard of vocal and performance tuition from renowned UK West End and Theatre professionals. But this holiday is not just about the singing!
You will also experience the enchanting beauty of Salzburg as you partake in city, mountain & lake tours led by Salzburg’s only SOM singing guide. You will be able to immerse yourself completely in the history and charm of the iconic film locations.
But that’s not all! This unbeatable experience includes an afternoon in a professional studio, where the group will record tracks from The Sound of Music. We will then film you performing songs in the actual locations where the movie was shot, providing you with a keepsake video for you to share with family and friends.
The grand finale to this once-in-a-lifetime adventure will be a heartwarming So Long, Farewell performance with a traditional Austrian band in the town square. This holiday is a celebration of one of the greatest and timeless musicals ever made!
ACCOMMODATION
We have the exclusive use of Pension Sommerauer, three stunning villas set in the green pastures around the town of Hallein, a short (and very efficient) 15 min train ride into the centre of Salzburg. This exclusive setting provides ample, comfortable accommodation plus space for the vocal classes and rehearsals.
Pension Sommerauer’s stunning surroundings are sure to provide you with bundles of Julie Andrews style inspiration as you sing-out-loud at the foot of the breathtaking Austrian Alps.
Happy 60th Birthday The Sound of Music!

How it Works
Days are split between group singing and rehearsals, and smaller group sessions in classes starting from 10am through to early evening. There will be plenty of breaks and free time sessions.
For the smaller groups sessions you will be allocated to a coach that is best suited to your vocal abilities, but everyone will get a chance to work with all coaches throughout the week.
Rehearsals are the most exciting part of the day when everyone comes together to learn the repertoire for the live show and recording sessions.
