About Us
EPN travel is the official travel division of Educational Programs Network, and the preferred travel partner for Festivals of Music and Music in the Parks.
We know and love performance travel.
Our mission is to reduce the overwhelm of tour planning by enabling music directors to focus on preparing students for performance and competition while providing a fun, safe, and educational travel experience to remember.
The original student music travel partner.
Dr. James Wells is one of the early pioneers in the music festival arena and leadership development through music education experiences.
The organizations he founded: Music in the Parks, Festivals of Music, and EPN Travel Services continue to evolve, finding new ways to provide support and remarkable performance opportunities for school music programs and the students who benefit from their participation.
Dr. James Wells has not merely been a witness to the evolution of music education, but rather an integral performer who has shaped and guided the course as surely as a great conductor interprets a musical phrase from the podium.
