Each tour is unique. The concert locations and schedule follow the international performance calendar of violinist Karen Su and pianist Ruben Plazier, who personally guide and teach all participants throughout the week. Concerts take place across Europe, in a wide range of venues – from world-renowned concert halls such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Rudolfinum Prague, AMUZ Antwerp, and Concertgebouw Brugge, to small, intimate spaces where just a handful of listeners are present. Some concerts come with luxurious dressing rooms and grand receptions, while others require changing in unconventional spaces and navigating practical challenges – all part of the authentic experience of being a musician on tour.

Every day includes lessons with Karen and Ruben, allowing for deep artistic growth and continuous feedback. Traveling together also means there is time for honest conversations and a clear view into what a musician’s life really looks like – on and off stage. Participants learn how to engage with audiences after the concerts, how to speak with sponsors, and how to present themselves as professional artists. These are crucial, real-world skills that are rarely taught in the classroom.
