Music Contact
International

Our Story

Since 1987

Since 1987, thousands of performance ensembles have chosen Music Contact International to plan and manage their tours around the world. From school choirs to symphonic orchestras, community ensembles to university groups — we've helped directors at every level create extraordinary performance travel experiences.

Based in Burlington, Vermont, our team of tour coordinators and managers brings decades of combined experience in international music travel. We're the exclusive North American representative for some of the world's most prestigious invitational choral and instrumental festivals.

Every tour we build is custom — designed around your ensemble's goals, schedule, and budget. And every tour includes a dedicated MCI staff member who travels with your group from departure to return.
