Destinations - Our suggestions

These destinations are home to some of the most impressive venues in the world for choral singing. Many of the major venues require an audition recording prior to confirming your performance and this should be submitted as soon as possible. We can guide you towards the most suitable repertoire and provide organ specifications for most venues. If you would like to participate in a mass or service, this can be arranged.

In addition to the well known venues, we also use smaller, local churches set in stunning locations- on mountain tops, in valleys and on the coast. These attract large numbers of the local communities, who are delighted to receive visiting choirs from the U.K

For larger orchestras, a large space and suitable acoustic is important and many of these destinations have the perfect environment for your concerts. Local agents will arrange the delivery of your instruments should you need to hire the larger ones locally and we plan your rehearsal and set-up time carefully.

Live music at local events such as wine festivals is an important part of the celebrations for many of the destinations listed above. We will try wherever possible, to include your band in these, or similar celebratory events. There are also festivals based around specific types of music and more general arts events that welcome visiting youth groups.

We will suggest open air venues that are situated in key tourist areas during the summer and out of season, as well as spa halls, concert halls and community centres.

These destinations are chosen for the proximity to the U.K. The venues on offer are no less impressive than the ones in countries further away but they are all within a few hours reach from the channel port.

Friendly and accommodating members of the community will make your young musicians feel at ease and they will return with enthusiasm for another tour!
