CONCERT ARRANGEMENTS FOUNDATION OF SUCCESSFUL CONCERTS PERFORMANCE TOURS Argentina Concert Tours' performance tours of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay (collectively known as the “Southern Cone” of South America) stand out in the music travel industry. We have an unmatched network of contacts amongst leaders of the music communities in these three countries. Being based in that part of the world, we are constantly developing new relationships amongst prominent choir directors, festival organizers, and officers of leading music organizations. Similarly, we continuously search for new performance venues to expand our portfolio of wonderful places for choirs to perform. Finally, we are also steadily developing new destinations, new itineraries, and better ways to deliver existing tour programs. The end result of this non-stop innovation is the best-quality performing tours of the “Southern Cone” nations in the music travel industry. CONCERTS Most of ACT's concert arrangements are in the form of joint performances with local ensembles. This helps create camaraderie and friendship with local performing groups and assures good-sized audiences for the concerts, with family, friends, and members of the local community attending the performances. A typical ACT itinerary includes 3-5 concerts. WORKSHOPS Workshops with local directors focusing on one or two pieces of music native to the destination country are always a great way to expand your ensemble's musical horizons and enrich its repertoire. ACT chooses directors from among its network of local ensembles to lead these workshops. One or two workshops are usually included in your group's itinerary, according to your wishes. NETWORK OF ENSEMBLE DIRECTORS ACT has invested a lot of time and energy assembling an extensive network of local ensemble directors in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. This gives us a wide array of people from the music world to choose from when organizing your concerts and workshops. We also tap into this network to publicize your ensemble's visit by advising these directors personally and by e-mail of your group's concert schedule, which they are asked to forward to all of their ensemble's members. We do this a month before your group's arrival and repeat it one week before your trip. This is an added strategy to assure good-sized audiences that can only be done by a company with a strong foundation in this part of the world, such as Argentina Concert Tours. PERFORMANCE VENUES ACT has assembled a portfolio of top performance venues that have proven popular in the past with visiting ensembles from the U.S. and Europe. These include some impressive concert halls, charming theaters, exquisite churches, stylish museums, and landmark structures of historical importance. You can be sure that they all have excellent acoustics, ample stages, attractive lighting, and enough seating for good-sized audiences.
