asterbridge has been operating European and Worldwide concert programmes for over twenty years and is now widely recognised as one of the primary specialists in overseas performance tours. We have extensive expertise in handling all types of musical groups - from high school and college age choirs, bands and orchestras to adult, church and community ensembles. Today, numerous Music Directors can testify first-hand to a level of personal service and meticulous attention to detail that is unequalled elsewhere in the field of European and Worldwide concert tours.

WHAT CAN WE PROVIDE? Casterbridge Concert Tours can arrange tours for choirs, bands and orchestras, based on your specific requirements, throughout the British Isles, all of Continental Europe and multiple Worldwide destinations such as China, Japan, Australia, and South Africa. We will custom design a private concert tour for your group with as few as 10 participants or with as many as 250. Wherever you choose to tour, we will ensure that your concert schedule is combined with sufficient time for your pre-performance arrangements and your own personal sightseeing programme. We can also provide any of the following items as your touring programme may require:
