Sing in Portugal

Música for OCYC

Lisbon,Porto & Cascais/Mafra

Bem-Vindo: Welcome to the incredible country of Portugal. Small, yet mighty and very musical, here, the singers touring with Mr. Keith Hancock are in for a treat.
The choir tour dates are now Friday, April 2, through Saturday, April 10, 2027. We’re holding two sets of flights for up to 90 travelers. Adult singers or students traveling with family can also travel land-only.

Commissioned just for OCYC.

Who you travel with matters. The 2027 Musica Portugal choir tour is personalized for Mr. Hancock’s performance group: singers and alumni from Tesoro Choirs traveling as the Orange County Youth Chorale (OCYC).

Join Mr. Hancock and the Orange County Youth Chorale in Portugal in April 2027 

Take a closer look at this Portuguese journey for current and former Tesoro Choirs students: a one-of-a-kind performance tour featuring Lisbon, Porto, Cascais, Mafra, and a special village you’ve never heard of: Aldeia de Mata Pequeña.

  • "Having led tours for 23 years, there is no other company I will travel overseas with other than Inside Europe. In my experience, they provide a level of service that is unmatched in the industry, and they consistently go above and beyond to secure the best venues, best activities, and unique opportunities for students and their families. Sandra, Ted, and the team go out of their way to customize the special things the bigger companies usually neglect, and their experience in the travel industry provide a level of comfort for the directors, families, and students alike."
