America the Beautiful: Take a New Look at Remarkable Domestic Destinations
From sea to shining sea, there are opportunities across our great country for meaningful and exciting touring. We know that choruses and orchestras around the United States will be anxious to resume rehearsing, performing and taking joy in the communal act of making music together, as soon as it is safe to do so – and that many ensembles will also be eager to once again experience the life-changing impact of performing on tour. Although we expect that international concert touring will present significant challenges for some time, Classical Movements encourages our clients to take this opportunity to consider the many matchless destinations around our own country.
From breathtaking vistas to bustling cities, not to mention hotspots of the American musical landscape, now is the time to plan a domestic tour that will take you to historic venues and landmarks of history at excellent value. Classical Movements is proud to announce a series of domestic itineraries to destinations across the country, which include major natural, cultural and historical sites and opportunities for meaningful service. These are in addition to Classical Movements’ regular tours in every state or U.S. territories. Domestic tours allow for affordable, flexible travel options and Classical Movements will work with you to create the most rewarding and suitable itinerary.
