Bid Now to Discover Your Heritage and Spend 12 Nights in Up To 3 Countries of Origin

Have you ever dreamt of following your roots to the land of your ancestors, discovering long-lost family secrets, and unraveling the fabric of your history that makes you YOU? For the winner of this auction, this dream come true as you trace your roots through travel and music across three countries of your choosing!

Your amazing experience will begin with a complimentary DNA test kit from My Heritage. Once the results of your DNA are received, the fun begins! First, you'll select up to three countries of origin that pique your curiosity most (they do not need to be the countries that represent the largest percentage of your DNA).

Then, while a team of genealogists researches your family tree, a team of music historians will research the most influential composers of the era in which your ancestors inhabited each country AND prepare for your review a selection of opera houses and concert halls in those countries, where you will attend events that draw you ever closer to the music of your people.

That's right, the next phase of your experience will include business class airfare for two and lodging for 12 nights in your selected countries of origin, where you will receive complimentary tickets to the world's most famous musical venues, lose yourself in music created at the time your ancestors walked the very same streets on which you stand, and connect with your heritage in ways you never imagined.

This brings us to the culminating phase of your experience: the composition of an original musical score in the style and genre reflecting a country or region of your ancestral heritage by renowned Off-Broadway composer Kenneth McQueen III.

After your original composition is competed, Mr. McQueen will fly to your location and perform your composition and other select music from your countries of origin for you and up to 50 guests at a private gala, including hors d'oeuvres and beverages.

What a wonderful way to celebrate your heritage with family and friends!
