We can also coordinate rehearsal space, accompanist needs, and local transportation so your day flows smoothly from warmups to workshop to performance.

Give your choir a big-stage performance experience in iconic theme park settings, with the energy of a live audience and a memorable trip built around music and fun.

ETA can help you compare options and coordinate the details, including timelines, scheduling, transportation, lodging, meals, and on-site logistics, so your ensemble can focus on a great performance and an unforgettable experience.

Arts for Autism is a Broadway benefit concert held each year at a Broadway theatre in New York City, where performing arts students share the stage with Broadway Stars. By participating, your choir not only experiences the thrill of performing in one of Broadway’s most celebrated venues, but also support an inspiring cause, raising awareness and funds for individuals impacted by autism. This unforgettable event reminds students that their voices have the power to change the world.

New York City is a dream destination for choirs because it offers once-in-a-lifetime venues that elevate any ensemble’s motivation and musical growth. Depending on availability and fit, ETA can help explore performance opportunities at:

• Carnegie Hall (the choir gold standard)
  A bucket-list stage that brings a sense of prestige and purpose to every rehearsal.

• Cathedral of St. John the Divine
  A soaring, resonant space that creates a powerful choral sound and unforgettable atmosphere.

• Riverside Church
  A historic venue with impressive architecture and acoustics that suit a wide range of repertoire.

• St. Patrick’s Cathedral (limited availability, ask us about realistic options and timelines)
  An iconic NYC landmark for select opportunities, with scheduling that often requires flexibility.

ETA can help you understand what is realistic for your ensemble, then coordinate the timelines, logistics, and trip details that make your choir tour run smoothly.

No two choirs are the same, and your performance tour should reflect that. We partner with directors to create personalized travel plans that highlight your middle or high school choir’s unique talents and goals. Whether it’s choosing the perfect venues, arranging comfortable accommodations, or planning meaningful cultural experiences, we handle all the details so you can focus on your music. From transportation and meals to sightseeing and workshops, every aspect of your tour is thoughtfully crafted for an enriching, safe, and enjoyable journey. With Educational Travel Adventures, you won’t be stuck with a one-size-fits-all itinerary or surprise fees—your choir’s travel tour is fully customized from start to finish. The result is a truly custom choir performance tour designed around what matters most to you and your students.
