Instrumental Tours & Events that are, well, Instrumental...
Most performing arts groups love
to perform when they travel. We've got you covered with high-magnitude, education-first music festival, event, and concert opportunities in many (if not most) of the US travel destinations groups like to visit. At any of our programs, you and your ensembles will delight in high impact adjudicated performances in fantastic venues with world-class adjudicator clinicians... and that's just the very tip of the proverbial iceberg. Read on for the exciting, innovative details of your next instrumental adventure!
Festival + Clinic Options
If you're traveling with your concert band and/or orchestra, you may want to perform for adjudicators at a festival, interface with other groups from across the country, and/or work with dedicated, knowledgeable clinicians during your tour. Doing so brings the music education aspect of a performing arts tour into sharp focus. We know and work with the top festival companies and music educators in the country, and will work with you to ensure we have exceptional music education and performance opportunities on the itinerary.

into each tour and event.

Travel Furthers Education...
The sustained benefits of taking your band or orchestra on a tour go beyond the obvious "learning outside the four walls" truism of the trip itself. A dedicated tour program definitely helps with recruiting and retention. Moreover, pre-trip lesson plans and performances linked to your anticipated tour destination often offer additional, three-dimensional learning opportunities
for the members of your ensembles. Having your group work with other music educators while on tour
can be extremely helpful, as can your ability to extend the lessons learned
on tour... even after returning home.
Nothing Else Compares...
We are a socially conscious company founded on the belief that every performer and every group matters. At every one of our programs, we are 100% committed to bringing you and your Ensembles an amazing experience that will have you coming back each year (or, at least every time you travel with your group)! Ultimately, our goal is create a network of culturally diverse, highly-educational, and engaging performing arts tours and events accessible to all performing groups in fantastic locations every year.
