Unique Experiences for Music Services

Your ensemble is unique and it’s our job to turn your hopes and dreams into reality, something we have been doing for 28 years. Each year we look closely at what we do, with a view to continuing to organise fresh, exciting tours that are individually designed with you in mind. Not only do we organise spectacular tours, but we also understand your administrative process and aim to minimise the paperwork.

SAN SEBASTIAN INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL

Allow your students to experience the thrill of a large scale music festival, with best selling artists that have included Joe Cocker, James Taylor Quartet, Jamie Cullum and Roberta Flack.

Audition to be the guest youth group to appear on the main stage and perform to an audience of over 6 thousand people!

BE ARTISTIC IN THE BIG APPLE

The Lincoln Centre is home to twelve internationally-acclaimed resident companies, which offer an array of music, opera, dance and theatre. Our groups can enjoy three fantastic experiences; Meet the Artist and see a private, live performance, and hear exciting backstage stories; Master Class where an eminent conductor or clinician will take your ensemble through its paces; Guided tour of the entire complex, where you can see a stage larger than a football pitch and catch the New York Philharmonic in rehearsal.

REHEARSAL TOURS

For those music service ensembles that meet just once or twice a term, and where the bonding of players as a social and musical unit is particularly critical, we suggest a rehearsal weekend with a difference. Why not take your musicians on a long weekend away, where you can rehearse intensively and perform a concert at the end of the tour? We recommend the Isle of Wight, Belgium and northern France.

CLUB EUROPE ‘ON THE ROAD’

We enjoy meeting our tour leaders when we are ‘on the road’. We attend all of the major music education conferences throughout the year.

In 2008, we will be exhibiting at:

FMS, Leeds 19th June

NAME, Birmingham 10th October
