the historic Christian cultures of the world,
singing has provided the core expression for
worship,
celebration and unity of faith. With Casterbridge,
your Catholic choir's tour can travel to lands
where the
choral tradition was founded. We can arrange
for our groups to perform in the most prestigious
sacred and historic venues such as St. Stephen’s
in Vienna, St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice,
St. Peter’s in Rome or Southwark Cathedral
in London. The opportunity to experience the
magnificent acoustics and historic aura of such
settings can be a highlight for many Catholic
choir tour groups.
By
discussing your preferred concert locations
and repertoire with our Concert
Tour Coordinators, you will have the assurance
of planning for concerts that meet your Catholic
choir's touring aims and cultural aspirations.
Whether you wish to perform in great cathedrals
or to meet your peers throughout the world by
performing at a local school or church, our
Tour Operations Department will liaise closely
with you so that you obtain venues that coincide
with your Catholic choir tour's specific performance
criteria.
