A Wealth Of Performance Options For Catholic Choir Tours

Throughout the history of the world’s Christian cultures, the faithful have used song as a core expression of worship, celebration, and Christian unity. Casterbridge recognizes the incomparable value of travel to destinations where the world’s choral traditions began. Between our Church Tour and Concert Tour divisions, we have the knowledge and resources to work with you on a Catholic Choir Tour program that encompasses your unique travel aspirations and venue needs as well, as your spiritual and cultural focus.

Indeed, our Concert Tour Coordinators can plan your Catholic Choir Tour around your preferred concert locations and specific repertoire. Our Tour Operations Department overseas, in cooperation with our local contacts around the world, can make sure your vision for a performance program becomes a reality.

Casterbridge welcomes your requests for specific concert venues and formats, whether you wish to perform in the world’s great cathedrals, fellowship with the local citizenry through a performance at a local school or church, or interact with a foreign Catholic choir in a joint choral performance. Indeed, we frequently integrate a mixture of venues to provide a culturally diverse experience for our Catholic Choir Tour groups.

As a Music Director, you truly have a diversity of performance options available for your Catholic Choir Tour.

Prestigious Sacred Venues

A performance in the world’s great cathedrals and churches, with their magnificent acoustics and historic auras, can be a most memorable and spiritually rewarding experience for any choir.

Sample Casterbridge Venues:

Assisi: St. Francis Basilica
Bath: Abbey
London: St. Paul’s Cathedral • Westminster Cathedral
Paris: Notre Dame de Paris
Prague: St. Vitus Cathedral
Rome: St. Peter’s Basilica
Venice: St. Mark’s Basilica
Vienna: St. Stephen’s Cathedral

Local and Intimate Sacred Venues

Music Directors often prefer to perform at smaller, more intimate churches while on their Catholic Choir Tour. Such venues offer the opportunity to perform a less restrictive sacred repertoire and to interact and fellowship with local citizens.

Sample Casterbridge Venues:

Arnstadt: Bach Church
Florence: Church of SS Apostoli
Galway: St. Nicholas Church
London: Church of St. Anne and St. Agnes
Prague: St. Thomas Church
Rome: Santa Maria in Trastevere • Sant’ Anselmo

Community Settings

Your Catholic Choir Tour performance may focus on service or charitable causes, offering the chance to bless a body of people who would not otherwise have the privilege of attending a musical performance. Including even one of these options in your program can be an extremely rewarding experience, as the warmth and gratitude shown by such audiences can make an indelible mark upon performers that is just as meaningful and memorable as a performance in a larger or more historic venue.

For virtually any worldwide destination, Casterbridge can coordinate a service concert at numerous venues, including children’s centers, hospitals, homes for the elderly, and orphanages.

Joint Performances

Rehearsals and performances with a Catholic choir abroad are always a highly attractive and rewarding proposition for both the visiting Catholic choir and their hosts. The fellowship that results from such interaction is a blessing for all involved, creating new friendships and lifelong memories.

Sample Casterbridge Options:

Leipzig: Leipzig International Choral Festival
Québec: Québec International Choral Festival
South Africa: Drakensberg Boys Choir
Vancouver: Vancouver International Choral Festival
Vienna: Vienna Boys Choir
Wales: Welsh Men’s Choir

We can maximize opportunities for impromptu and informal performances during a Catholic Choir Tour. Similarly, formally confirmed opportunities often prove to be highly enjoyable options for versatile choirs who wish to perform in an informal street setting among local passersby. What a way to bless and uplift countless people with the joy of music!
