THE PERFORMING ARTS

Many secondary schools in Australia with sophisticated musical education programs like to give their Years 8 – 12 students an opportunity of performing overseas and living as part of a musical orchestral or band group for at least two weeks with almost daily rehearsals and concert performances in different parts of Europe. In conjunction with Musica Italia and also other European concert organisers, PCI is able to offer a wide range of orchestral and other musical tours either with or without a supporting choir. Features of these tours are:

• The opportunity to perform in some incredibly beautiful churches and other venues.

• The opportunity of playing in front of relatively large audiences, mixing music and sightseeing in such a way that enables young people to enjoy both European culture and at the same time make great progress with their orchestral skills.

• Particularly in Italy but to a lesser degree in other countries, our wide range of contacts enables us to open doors that would otherwise be closed to all but senior orchestras.

• So that schools, orchestras and bands and special interest groups can plan their tours with confidence, PCI is always able to give a fixed turn-key cost of a tour twelve months ahead of the departure date.

What our clients think

"We were amazed by the quality and profile of the performances PCI/ATA had been able to organise ... their professionalism is unmatched in this country .. and I would recommend them highly". Nick Mulder -Director of Music - St Peter's College, Adelaide

"Throughout the past three international tours our large school contingent has found Angas Travel meticulous in their organisation of every aspect of the tour.  As a school Principal it is critical that there is absolute confidence in the arrangements being made an any overseas excursion.  The safely of each participant is paramount and can only be assured with meticulous organisation of every instant.  Our experience has been totally positive as we have always found Angas Travel to be helpful, reactive to our needs, flexible to our requests and always focussed on providing the very best outcomes for the experience of a lifetime for each student." Robyn White - Principal Perth Modern School

"About 20 students assembled half way up the tower where they commenced singing our Australiana repertoire. It was at that instant that I felt the presence of all these Aussie Soldiers.  I have no doubt and nor do the students, that these fallen men could hear our singing and were loving every minute of it.  The sound was breathtaking and the emotion and spiritual connection was unforgettable". Jill Scott - Tour leader, Concordia College Adelaide
