Concert Tours in Italy - Liguria
Youth Orchestra • Sacred Choir • Secular Choir • Band • Marching Band
- Italy’s stylish Riviera
- Cross the border to Monte Carlo
- Enthusiastic audiences
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, Liguria will more than fulfil your aspirations.
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, particularly having organised our youth band festival in Liguria in 2002. 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.
