Music tours to Lake Garda

Unspoilt area of Italy
Musically rich region
Day trips to Venice and Verona

“It was brilliant and everything I expected from a tour and more. Jonathan was brilliant. He was always patient with me and nothing seemed to...”

Cath Danswan, Swindon Choral Society, Wiltshire

“Lovely venues, lovely audiences, comfortable accommodation. Alahree was very prompt and efficient with her responses and understood our needs well.”

Gill Chapman, Cecilia Singers, Berkshire

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.
