Speaking of Music Tethers in Europe, though, I believe that Troldhaugen (the home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg) qualifies as a weak one. Quote:

Re: [Tethers/heretical] Music Tethers worldwide...
A Media Tether would be tied to the site of the best reviews, perhaps, but good music tends to endure regardless of what the critic thinks. Sadly, the site I'd most like to use, the old Ziegfield Theatre, was torn down in the '60s. That's where Showboat was performed, pretty much inaugurating the genre of "musical theater."

And Music strikes me as a Word that would generate a lot of the "intense personal experience for one individual" Tethers (like canonical divine Fire and, less happily, Nightmares). A church where a Dark Ages bishop who never felt an iota of faith but obtained his benefice through political power heard one song sung so gorgeously that he recovered faith in God and switched from using his office for amassing wealth to helping lead people to their Destinies would make a great old, small Tether, whose Seneschal keeps the tradition alive (even though the story is long forgotten) by leading an internationally-famous choir from there. Or a school band room where a mocked teenager planned to commit suicide, stopped only by the hauntingly beautiful melody of a cello solo by the practicing orchestra teacher nearby (the teenager went on to achieve a potent Destiny despite the presence of Fate demons who had nearly driven him to suicide as a kid, and the band room is still a Tether to Music). Including those sorts of Tethers reinforces the human-centered nature of the War.
