Boise State University music professor Del Parkinson will lead an educational �Sound of Music� study tour of Vienna and Prague May 22-31, 2004. Parkinson has directed more than two dozen study tours to locations around the world, including New York, London, Vienna, Paris and Rome. The trip is organized through Boise State�s Division of Extended Studies.

Participants will walk through old Vienna and explore St. Stephen�s Cathedral, visit the Hofburg imperial palace and the summer home at Schonbrunn, and take a guided tour of the Fine Arts Museum. Other experiences include watching a training session at the Spanish Riding School and enjoying a meal on the outskirts of the Vienna Woods.

In Prague, explore Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral and Winceslas Square, visit the colorful market by the old town square, stroll the ancient winding cobblestone streets, and marvel at the beautifully preserved palaces near the medieval Charles Bridge.

In both cities, tour participants will also enjoy carefully selected world-class performances of music, opera and ballet.

Cost is $3,500, which includes round-trip airfare from Boise, eight nights� hotel accommodations, most meals, train ticket from Vienna to Prague, tickets to concert, opera and ballet performances, and sightseeing guides and admission charges.
