the historic Christian cultures of the world, singing
has provided the core expression for worship, celebration
and unity of faith. With Casterbridge, your church choir
can travel to lands where the choral tradition was founded.
We can arrange for our church choir tours to perform
in the most prestigious sacred and historic venues such
as Southwark Cathedral in London, Notre Dame in Paris,
St. Stephen’s in Vienna or St. Mark’s Basilica
in Venice. The opportunity to experience the magnificent
acoustics and historic aura of such settings can be
a highlight for many church choir tours.
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 church choir's
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
church choir's specific performance criteria.

at a combination of prestigious and smaller, more
intimate churches while on tour with their church
choir group. These smaller venues offer the ability
to perform a less restrictive sacred repertoire
and also the very real possibility of interacting
with local people.
