You might not find a four-leaf clover in Ireland, but the country’s green grassy hills, rich history, proximity to England, Wales and Scotland, and catchy musical traditions are only too lucky for groups seeking concert tours to a beautiful destination. Long celebrated Irish traditions derived from ancient Celtic practices and the romantic inspirations from the Irish countryside continue to be popular all over the world. Experience the inspiration for the soulful ballads and the jaunty jigs firsthand while performing for audiences who understand the moving power of music.  

Classical Movements has been putting together tours in Ireland since 1992 when Aeroflot planes used to stop in the country to refuel and myriad groups en route to Russia found themselves bitten once again by the travel bug. Past clients have included the Greater Miami Youth Symphony, University of Kentucky Women’s Chorale, Montgomery County Choral Society, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra and National Symphony Orchestra.
