Music tours

Whether you are a full symphony orchestra or a small chamber group, we take great care to match your individual group's needs with exactly the right music tour.

We pay particular attention to the details. For instance, we do advise larger orchestras (from the UK) to travel by coach where we can provide trailers for the transport of instruments. However, there are airlines that are better than others to use when shipping instruments to Europe.

It is important with orchestral groups to get the right space and location for their performances: Some of the big churches in Paris such as La Madeleine are suited to more classical repertoires, while the summer stage in Lake Garda in Italy is more appropriate for larger orchestras with lively secular music programmes, who are happy to perform outside.

• Staff are members of orchestras themselves
• Attention to detail to give best advice
• Match size and type of orchestra with right venues and location

Choirs have the advantage over other music groups: with no instruments to carry (apart from perhaps a keyboard) so there are innumerable exciting and - sometimes far flung - destinations to experience. Many of our groups enjoy music tours to New York, where they can perform in St. Paul’s Chapel close to Ground Zero or in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Choirs with a lively, jazz repertoire can perform at the Jazz Ministry, a church for secular music near Central Park.

Canada and China are also exciting places for choir tour groups. Not only do they offer unique performing experiences but a huge range of amazing places to visit and see.

We are careful to assess each choir’s individual history and repertoire to create the perfect tour for them. It is important in particular for less experienced groups to perform in the right venue, to the right audience. Belgium and Holland are good for less experienced groups, while Prague, Budapest and Venice are ideal for more established groups.
