Liguria will more than fulfil your aspirations
The region of Liguria is a very well kept secret, with no ‘big names’ to attract the crowds. Dig a little deeper and you discover that the region holds many attractions in its own right. The mountainous terrain creates a magnificent backdrop, beginning right behind the sandy coastline which stretches all the way up to Genoa, the midpoint along the Ligurian coast. Olives and vines clothe the lower slopes, while glorious medieval villages sit snugly above. Down on the coast you will find classy San Remo, home to the annual jazz festival, as well as the established beach resorts of Diano Marina and Alassio. If you want to enjoy a real taste of Italy and perform to some of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences you will come across.

Concerts
The Ligurian people are perhaps some of the friendliest, most appreciative Italians you will ever come across.
They are amazed at the talent we bring over; from the least experienced school group to the highest quality youth orchestra, all are appreciated for their achievements. We have established great contacts here over many years, and have organised our own youth band festival in Liguria. Concerts take place in the evening on open-air stages, with excellent technical support and huge audiences, in the coastal towns of Imperia, Alassio and Noli, as well as inland in Camporosso and Dolceacqua.

FAQs
Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
The most pleasant times of year to come to Europe are May to September, therefore you may wish to consider this when planning your tour. Summer temperatures across Europe range from 18-35 degrees Celsius. European cities in winter can also offer many interesting cultural experiences that you may enjoy.
We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.
Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.
