A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
World Projects continues to mourn the senseless death of George Floyd and so many members of our Black community and People of Color before him. We fully support the Black Lives Matter movement in seeking justice and change for a better and more equitable society for all!

In addition, World Projects continues to wish all of our community good health and safety as we all navigate the new realities posed by COVID-19. We are looking forward to traveling, experiencing music, and being together again when it is safe to do so!

2021 TRAVEL AND BEYOND
As destinations start to relax restrictions, there has been a great deal of interest in traveling in 2021 and beyond. Many groups are already planning for postponed tours to future years on top of groups already scheduled to travel. Because of this, many of our partners (hotels, transportation, concert venues) have seen significant requests for their services. Of course, World Projects is collaborating with our partners in travel and music in implementing procedures to keep patrons safer and healthy in response to COVID-19. Music Education and Music Travel have never been more important than during this time of crisis. This is the perfect time to dream about your next musical adventure!

If you have not already done so, please contact us at: [email protected] to discuss your future tour plans.
