Ground mobility for choirs: large groups, many coaches, one plan

For radio, opera and chamber choirs, for choral productions with orchestra and for the agencies that send them on tour.

TOUR LOUNGE drives professional choirs and choral productions on tour: radio, opera and chamber choirs, choirs travelling together with an orchestra, and choirs a concert management agency sends on tour. With large choirs the task is not the single coach but the dispatch of many vehicles with one contact.

We have run multi-week European tours of large choirs with more than a dozen coaches. Three coaches or twelve: the standard is the same, and you have a single contact.

Your advantages with TOUR LOUNGE

Many vehicles, one standard

Three coaches or twelve: the same vehicle class, the same procedures, the same briefing at every meeting point.

One dispatcher for every coach

With large choirs the dispatch is the real task. One dispatcher and one lead driver keep every vehicle together and are your single point of contact.

Staggered departures

Voice sections, soloists and the choir director do not always travel together. We plan departures and arrivals so that every group is in time to warm up.

Care for the voice

Air conditioning agreed with the choir director, quiet vehicles, breaks that fit the rehearsal plan and an arrival with time to warm up.

How many coaches a choir needs

A coach seats around 50, a double-decker around 70 to 80. A choir of 120 singers therefore travels in three coaches or two double-deckers, depending on luggage and leg length.

We have run multi-week European tours of large choirs with more than a dozen coaches. At that size the single coach is not the task; the dispatch is: who leaves, arrives and waits where and when.

Our services

Choir tours

Several cities and countries, hotel instead of sleeper bus, schedule built on driving and rest times and on rehearsals, warm-up and concert start.

Choir and orchestra together

Oratorios, opera productions and arena productions with choir and orchestra: two groups with different needs, one plan and one contact.

Arrival and departure days

Staggered flights, many people, several vehicles at the terminal. We drive to the flight list and track delays.

Run-outs and guest performances

For opera and radio choirs performing away: day trips with the return after the show, on request for a whole season.

Frequently asked questions about choirs on tour

Who organises coaches for a choir tour with more than a hundred singers?

TOUR LOUNGE plans and runs the ground mobility of large choirs: several coaches or double-deckers, one dispatcher and one lead driver for every vehicle, staggered departures and one contact for the whole tour.

How many coaches does a choir of 120 need?

A coach seats around 50, a double-decker around 70 to 80. A choir of 120 therefore travels in three coaches or two double-deckers, depending on luggage and leg length.

Do choir and orchestra travel on the same plan?

Yes, if you wish. For oratorios, opera and arena productions we plan both groups together: the choir without instruments, the orchestra with a support vehicle, one schedule and one contact.

How is the voice protected on long journeys?

With air conditioning agreed with the choir director, breaks that fit the rehearsal plan and an arrival with time to warm up. We calculate the schedule backwards from the concert start.

Do you also drive amateur or school choirs?

No. Our focus is professional choirs, choral productions with orchestra and choirs that a concert management or touring agency sends on tour.

Do you name references?

No. We name no choirs and no productions. We start with a pilot and a debrief with numbers instead.
