As singers and musicians ourselves, providing ensembles with special performance opportunities is at the heart of what we do. Having worked with adult groups since 1965, we know the social side of a concert tour is every bit as important as the music. From wine tasting and brewery tours to river cruises and castle visits, we’ll help create a tour that lets you experience the local culture at its most authentic, complete with memorable performances in truly inspiring venues.
Why we’re specialists for…

We’re well accustomed to the needs of choirs and offer a variety of inspiring destinations perfectly suited for choral groups. From prestigious cathedrals and churches to beautiful parks and gardens, we have a range of stunning venues to suit any repertoire, where the acoustics, stage size and venue type are perfectly matched to your choir.
Bands
Whether you’re a concert, brass or jazz band, we can tailor a tour to suit all musical styles. We understand the needs of bands, which is why we’ll recommend the most appropriate way to transport and store your instruments, with the option of hiring them out.

Orchestras
From bustling market squares and scenic bandstands to beautiful churches, we offer a range of superb venues and destinations that are tailored to orchestras.
