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.

FAQs
Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
We understand that when you go on a music tour where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms generally en-suite.
You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to find the best possible venues for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.
A: We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.
