Next stop for Phoenix Girls: Beautiful Goettweig Abbey

After bidding farewell to Vienna and their fellow festival members, PGC's "Cantabile" met with Incantato Tour Manager Ms. Karolina Zadrazilova and their private deluxe coach and driver. They are currently enroute to the beautiful Goettweig Monastery perched high upon a hill in the stunning Danube Valley. The pink Stiftskirche and surrounding structure can be seen from afar and make for a stunning backdrop. As part of their 2012 Incantato Performance Tour, the 31 girls and seven chaperons have the opportunity of staying for two nights in the former boys choir boarding school dormitory that have been converted into a modern guest house. As the sole inhabitants this weekend, the American group will have the whole structure with plenty of amenities to themselves. PGC will also be eating dinner at the gourmet restaurant which features local cuisine and a panoramic view terrace. For more information on the Benedictine Monastery of Goettweig, click here
