Recently Envoy was honored to host the symphonic orchestra of Traveling Notes. 

Traveling Notes is a music festival organized every year since 2007. The main goal of the festival is to use the universal language of music as a bridge to link different cultures and cross social barriers. On the other hand it is a cultural exchange program for young and adventurous musicians from different countries. The most exciting part of the program is that it offers intensive music training combined with cultural excursions and social outreach activities.

Two countries were chosen to host the festival in 2011 – Colombia in July and Armenia in August.   After thrilling concerts in Colombia the Traveling Notes headed to Armenia - a land famous for its rich culture and, of course, music.

Envoy staff was very happy to host more than 20 young and talented musicians from all over the globe. The program of the festival also included visiting historical monuments of Armenia. Envoy Tours organized couple of day trips to different corners of our beautiful country such as:  Lake Sevan and the monasteries around, the holy seat of Ejmiadzin, Khor Virap monastery and Byurakan village.

During those two weeks that Traveling Notes were in Armenia they managed to have intensive rehearsals, a lot of outstanding concerts in different venues of Yerevan and Armenia and, of course, a lot of fun with traveling across the country.

Envoy Hostel wishes you many, many great concerts and long years of successful festivals.
