British Isles
Great Britain
Great Britain can be proud not only of its rich heritage, but the manner in which it has been maintained and cared for over the centuries. The Gothic, Norman, and Medieval architecture of the great cathedrals of Britain is truly magnificent and opportunities to visit and sing in them can be an awe-inspiring experience. London, a must for any tour to England, offers the chance to sing at Southwark or Westminster Cathedrals. Venturing into the beautiful English countryside provides the opportunity to sing in Salisbury, Wells, Chester, Ely, or Durham Cathedrals. Traveling north to Scotland opens up St. Giles Cathedral (a popular venue for Presbyterian church choirs) and Dunblane Cathedral. Mixing in concerts in small towns and cities as you tour provides a well-rounded variety, with receptions and chances for fellowship, with your audiences.
Great Britain is not just for choirs and cathedrals! Enthusiastic audiences await your instrumental groups in diverse locations throughout the United Kingdom. Perform in Jazz clubs and community theatres in large cities such as Banbury or Berwick-upon-Tweed. Participate in festivals in Bournemouth, Harrogate, or Shrewsberry. Ambassador Tours will organize exchanges with school bands or community orchestras or arrange adjudications, clinics, and workshops with professional musicians. The possibilities are unlimited!
Ireland
Ireland can be combined with your tour to Great Britain, but in order to experience its legendary hospitality and stunning scenery in depth, consider devoting a concert tour entirely to the Emerald Isle. You will want to visit the well-known towns and cities as well as the out of the way villages. Everything is close enough to see at a leisurely pace.
There is a wide range of performance opportunities for choirs and bands alike. Choral music is enjoyed at St. Patrick or St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral Dublin, and in other towns throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. Bands may march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Limerick and participate in local festivals and events.
Along the way, hear Irish music of all kinds from Opera to pop, and traditional Irish music with its unique accompaniment of bodrán, violin and piano.
Literarature and theater, history, language, music and heritage are all part of Ireland’s distinctive traditions. Let Ambassador Tours plan your concert or special interest tour.
