String Ensemble and Orchestra Tours

Whether you’re planning to tour with your small string ensemble or your massive symphony orchestra, we understand the special difficulties of transporting violins, violas inside aircraft, especially on long haul trips. We are familiar and experienced with the packing and transport of ‘celli and double basses, large woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. If you wish to visit schools and use their large instruments, we can arrange that for you. We can also assist with clinicians for masterclasses throughout the world.

Popular destinations for school music trips include Australia, Europe, Asia, New Zealand and the USA. Student Horizons will work with you and support you throughout to create an inspiring and memorable experience.

Student Horizons were amazing providers for our recent trip to Samoa. They helped organise a once in a life time opportunity and the students, parents and staff are all buzzing about the amazing time they had. Thank you for all the hard work you did to make this trip the success it was!

Teacher St John's College Samoa Music Tour

It was an amazing experience and made so easy by Student Horizons. We didn’t have to worry about minor details but could ensure the students were having a great time on their tour. I haven’t stopped recommending Student Horizons since the last tour we did, two years ago, and I will continue to recommend them to anyone wanting to take students away.

HOD Music Feilding High School Melbourne Music Tour

Overall the tour was a great success with our performances and workshops resulting in our students eyes being opened to the vast array of education in China. We were welcomed by schools and communities from all walks of life and the students thoroughly enjoyed their interactions with the local children. From a music directors view there were often many obstacles dealing with the Chinese bureaucracy that we overcame with our Student Horizons rep Christian. We couldn’t have done it without him.

Music Director Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra China Music Tour

This was an outstanding tour. Student Horizons were great to deal with from the outset, providing a high standard of care from our initial meeting through to the actual tour. The planning included a great balance between planned activities and relaxation time, and our whole tour experience was extremely positive. We will be booking with Student Horizons again for our next international tour! Thanks very much.
