Dreamy castles, spectacular Alpine scenery and lively towns full of holidaying Italians and foreign tourists ready to be entertained by your ensemble. Sounds like your next tour, right?

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and was formed by glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. Surrounded by breathtaking Alpine landscape, this spectacular scenery makes for an unforgettable setting for a school music tour. 

Dotted around the edge of the lake are many charming small towns and villages -  all connected by road, rail and (of course) boat. Each has its own character, but all share the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere you'd expect from their beautiful lakeside location. 

Your ensemble will love the experience of performing in these spectacular surroundings to international audiences of foreign tourists and Italians. There's a strong musical culture around the lake, guaranteeing your ensemble will receive a warm, appreciative welcome from all of their audiences.
