Encore Tours is coming to you live from London! In this week’s Encore Live event, we sat down with Jill Hutton and Valda Kampf, from Encore’s London office, as well as Rachel Pearson, a Blue Badge Tour Guide with experience leading tours throughout London, Bath, Stonehenge, Oxford, and many other destinations in England. Our discussion focused on the past, present, and future of England’s music scene, and included several unforgettable highlights. If you missed this event, please join us as we examine the country’s musical history, take a virtual walkabout through iconic venues like Westminster Abbey, Southwark Cathedral, and Kings College, and watch an interview with world-renowned composer John Rutter. This event is sure to conjure fond memories for everybody’s who has previously performed in London, and provide inspiration for any travelers looking to visit this incredible city for the first time.
