Innovative Giving Enhancement (IGE) is heading to Lisbon, Portugal for its 2019 event. The 10 day/9 night immersion of music and art will take place October 4 – 13 with the lineup due in February.
Attendees get to witness intimate collaborations of curated supergroups and take in the sights of the city with superstar musicians. IGE’s concerts and jams will integrate American Musical Ambassadors with highly talented European musicians. Both musicians and attendees will enjoy what Portugal has to offer via uniquely crafted daily experiences. “Beyond the musical connections, IGE participants bring direct benefit to local Lisbon nonprofits and artist communities as IGE Musical Ambassadors, European All Stars in Residence, Portuguese partners and local friends collaborate to support IGE’s nonprofit partners, the APCC (Association for the Cultural Promotion of Children), First Time and other native organizations,” reads a note from organizers. Last year’s event took place in Barcelona.
“An IGE immersion is like no musical excursion you will participate in,” said 2017 and 2018 participant Paul Hoffman of Greensky Bluegrass. “It’s incomparable to any vacation; becoming a community in a foreign land to appreciate culture, art and music is the way to get to know a city like you never can sightseeing alone. On Immersions you are simultaneously a traveller and at home with a group of common-minded people.”
Reservations for IGE’s Lisbon installment are available now. For more information or to book one of the limited spots, head here.
