The tour is designed as an interactive learning experience

for high school music students.


The Xibus Tour will feature the talents of the respective symphony orchestras of sixteen high schools throughout the United States. Partnering with internationally acclaimed artists, students will engage in one full day of classes and workshops, and a second day consisting of intensive rehearsals, culminating in an evening performance. Students will participate in music ranging in style from Led Zeppelin to Ennio Morricone, from Celtic to jazz, and more.
