Atmospheric concerts and superb food
Lake Garda is the largest and one of the most stunningly beautiful lakes in Italy. Surrounded by mountains which give a spectacular back drop, this picturesque region has so much to offer groups on music tours. Mountain top villages and towns play host to late evening concerts and there are many performance areas next to the lake. Day trips to Venice to explore the waterways, or to the historically rich Verona offer something different to the Lake, whilst the Dolomites are easily within reach. This region is a must for groups looking to experience true Italian culture, atmospheric concerts and superb food on their music tour.

Concerts
The towns around Lake Garda and nearby regions of Trentino and Veneto are littered with town squares.
These are transformed in the summer by stages bedecked with flowers, making excellent performance spaces for groups on a music tour. One example is the Largo Piazzola on the north edge of the Lake in Nago. Other performance opportunities include historical sites such as the Amphitheatre in Lavis. We have great contacts across the region and a further sample of the venues our groups play in include the theatre in Brentonico and La Rocca in Garda which is a regular professional venue.
