Madrid is a city full of the richest culture, deep tradition and vibrant street life
The Spanish capital is majestic and beautiful and offers a wide variety of activities from countless museums to wide open green spaces. Madrid is home to the Prado, the Reina Sofia and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the three most important art galleries in the whole of Spain, as well as the vast and imposing Royal Palace. Take time to enjoy the city’s huge open spaces, including the picturesque and central El Retiro park.

Concerts
We’d particularly recommend Madrid for choirs who perform a sacred repertoire.
There are many beautiful churches in the heart of the city where visiting choirs are warmly received. We particularly love the San Cayetano church where the priest draws in huge audiences, and was once a site for Royal concerts. For those groups who have a more informal repertoire, we can organise performances in schools, squares and shopping centres in the city.

A: We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.
We accept any group as long as they are used to performing together as an ensemble, even if only to their fellow students and parents. We always ask for a recent recording of your group and we have range of venues on offer that will welcome beginner groups as well as experienced ensembles.
