2025 Musicians Abroad Tours in Review
The 2025 Musicians Abroad tours brought together talented students from Indiana, Kentucky, North Texas, and Arizona for transformative international travel and performance experiences. These once-in-a-lifetime journeys blended music, history and friendship — all under the shared mission of cultural exchange through the arts.
Highlights From the 2025 Musicians Abroad Tours
Each Musicians Abroad tour is crafted for a specific region, bringing top student musicians together to represent their home communities on an international stage. Over the course of at least 14 days, participants explored iconic cities, visited historic landmarks and performed in centuries-old venues.
