Tuscany is famous for its beautiful countryside and its 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 S. Agostino in San Gimignano and the Church of S. 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.
See Tour information for STS School Music Trips to Tuscany, Italy.
All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose.
