Tuscany is famous for its beautiful countryside and stunning architecture. It is a fantastic destination for music groups of any kind. Choral groups have a selection of superb venues to choose from. It is possible to sing at Mass in Florence Cathedral, in Pisa Cathedral or in the Basilica in Montecatini. For a full-length performance, STS has access to the Church of St. Agostino in San Gimignano and the Church of St. Maria de Ricci in Florence. For a more informal venue, both choirs and bands can perform outdoors at the Gambrinus, a restaurant in the centre of Montecatini. During the summer months, many resorts arrange outdoor events in the evening to which our groups are invited to participate; locations include town squares in Pistoia, Pietrasanta and Vinci. We can also arrange concerts in local campsites.
