PA Tours & Events have quickly developed a reputation for being the pre-eminent Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Orchestra and Concert Band tour organiser.

With the guidance of our Artistic Director, Dr. Matthew George, we have arranged unforgettable concerts in inspiring venues with unique cultural interchange in some of the greatest destinations available.

Many touring programs include exchange concerts, clinics with local musical leaders, warm audiences and VIP attendance. Performing in China's Forbidden City Concert Hall, or Prague's Smetana Hall or the Sydney Opera House is the ultimate for many. Concerts in smaller communities where bands have been welcomed, embraced and applauded by overflowing audiences and local media are also remembered for a lifetime.

All ensembles participating in our performance festivals come away with life-long magical memories of performing under a world class conductor, at a stunning venue, with an appreciative audience.

We are honoured to have worked with conductors and composers in the instrumental world, of the highest calibre, including:

David Gillingham, Eric Whitacre, Frank Ticheli, Glenn Price, Jerry Junkin, John Wakefield, Layton Hodgetts (OAM), Philip Sparke, Roger Cichy

Outstanding band tours start with the desired musical outcomes to which destinations, venues and touring aspects are matched. Transporting and supplying oversized instruments is another prerequisite to success. Our local expert tour managers, the selection of outstanding hotels, the best buses and drivers, the food choices and the engaging sightseeing complete the package. Underlying this is a passion for delivering comfort and security for all our guests.

PA is proud to be touring the following bands/orchestras during 2011/12:

• Kenmore State High School
• California Youth Symphony
