From chamber orchestra to full symphony orchestra: we plan your orchestra tour with transport, accommodation, instrument logistics and performances across Europe.
We organise concert tours and guest performances for orchestras of every kind: full tour logistics for symphony and concert orchestras, flexible small-group travel for chamber orchestras and chamber ensembles, and supervised, education-friendly tours for youth and school orchestras. All modes of transport come from one source: coaches of every size and specification, rail travel with group tickets, flights and ferries. We clarify instrument and equipment transport in advance: in the coach, in a dedicated van or in a tour truck. If visas or carnets are needed for instruments, we take care of them. Our network covers venues across Europe, from historic churches to modern concert halls: the music cities of Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as guest performances and tours to the Benelux countries, France and beyond. Coach transport is our core strength; on request we take on the complete travel management of the tour: hotels with concert-friendly hours, tour schedule and rehearsal-room coordination. The group can pay as one, or members register and pay individually. Ideally, planning starts 6 to 9 months before departure; for popular dates and special venues we recommend 12 to 24 months of lead time.
Direct access to an excellent network of coaches of every size and specification, plus minivans and limousines for soloists and conductors. Larger projects include a dedicated dispatcher.
We clarify in advance whether instruments and equipment travel in the coach or need a van or tour truck; special transports are arranged through experienced partner freight forwarders and built into the tour schedule.
Group tickets, individual arrivals and departures for single members, or a combination of rail and coach: flexible, time-saving and as sustainable as possible.
If visas are required, or ATA carnets for instruments and equipment, we handle the paperwork with you.
