Tuscany is synonymous with striking architecture, alluring landscape and historic towns, all of which makes for a wonderful music tour destination. Florence is the region’s capital and is widely regarded as one of the prettiest cities in the world. Spectacular architecture such as El Duomo stands beside vast collections of art whilst the streets are bustling with stylish designer boutiques and cafés. The region has a number of other stunning cities including Sienna and Pisa and also boasts an impressive coastline. Exploring the coast and popular coastal resort of Viareggio, with its large sandy beach offers a contrasting excursion.
Over the summer, festivals are plentiful throughout the region and groups can perform in the gardens of the Villa Bottini in Lucca and the Jazz Festival in Camaiore. Choirs with a sacred repertoire have the chance to perform on the steps of Florence’s majestic El Duomo whilst for other ensembles, Montecatini holds a concert series at the beautiful spas.

We recommend Montecatini, a fashionable and relaxed spa town in the beautiful Tuscan countryside about 40 km from Florence, for our groups. It is a relaxed and spacious antidote to the heat and bustle of Florence with a large selection of hotels.
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.
