Unforgettable concert tours for your wind band

For community wind bands, brass bands and music societies: trips, music retreats and concert tours across Europe, with coach, accommodation, performances and a programme for the whole group.

As a specialised tour operator we understand the particular needs of community wind bands and music societies. Instrument transport, suitable venues or a programme that works for every age group: we take care of every detail. Tailor-made itineraries across Europe, organisation of guest concerts and performances, support for twin-town visits, and a complete service from coach to accommodation, so that you can concentrate fully on the music and on being together. Whether a band trip to South Tyrol, a concert tour to Vienna or a festival trip: you travel in comfortable coaches with enough luggage space for instruments and equipment, and you stay in hotels that specialise in groups. On request we arrange a meeting with a local band for a joint concert. The group can pay as one, or members register and pay individually. Ideally, planning starts 6 to 9 months before departure.
