All about Germany

We made our 2nd payment for this trip already, so we're a second step closer. I wanted to share more of Catherine's upcoming journey...

...On their third day overseas of their three week journey...
Heidelberg, Germany 

Catherine and her fellow musicians will  be visiting the historical city of Heidelberg, Germany then they will travel to Dinkelsbühl.
Dinkelsbühl, Germany

The next day they will travel to Rothenburg ob der Tauber where they will perform their 2nd concert of the trip.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
I would love to hear Catherine play at this concert but I will just have to wait to hear her stories all about her musical evening. I'm still saving every extra dollar I can for this trip, We're also looking for sponsors & contributors. If you'd like to donate to Catherine's campaign, please visit one of our online donations sites. 100% of the proceeds will go to support Catherine's trip. Thanks for your support!






Have you ever participated with American Music Abroad, or know someone that has? I'd love to hear of your experiences with it.  Have you been to any of these places in Germany? Please let us know about your time there! We'd love to hear your stories!
