Travelex International has enjoyed a long relationship with two organizations at opposite ends of the music spectrum- WFMT with its opera and classical music and the Barber Shop Harmony Society. Each entity offers a rich contribution to music and music aficionados in America.

We have captured this contribution in the form of creating unique tours that highlight each organization’s contribution to its musical roots. Come join us on our next adventure in good music.

Travelex International is in the business of creating unique life experiences and examples of our current and past tours for each organization are as follows:
