Description
Mid Atlantic Tours, run by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, helps presenters bring performing arts ensembles to communities across the mid-Atlantic region. Presenters negotiate directly with a roster artist’s tour manager to arrange a public performance and another distinct engagement activity. The program subsidizes artist compensation and can support other direct project expenses.
The international roster is developed with Ibermúsicas to strengthen dialogue between the music of Ibero-America and the United States. Mid Atlantic Arts promotes selected ensembles to regional presenters and offers grants to eligible venues; Ibermúsicas helps selected artists with U.S. work-visa costs. The 2026–2027 roster features artists from the Ibero-American region.
