0115 9404 303School Music tour to Venice and Lido di Jesolo
The beautiful city of Venice has played an important role in the development of the music of Italy and the Venetian state, i.e. the medieval Maritime Republic of Venice, was often popularly called the "Republic of Music".
Bands can perform at a holiday centre such as the Camping Paradiso, as part of their entertainment programme. Outdoor concerts are very much part of the Italian culture and many of our proups take the opportnity to perform in town squares and courtyards. There are also numerous churches ideal for sacred choir performances, such as the St Mark's Basilica, where choirs are able to sing at mass.
Manyof our groups stay in Lido di Jesolo, a nearby seaside resort and enjoy soaking up the sunshine and swimming in the Adriatic sea.
