Music Tours to Lake Garda
The picturesque setting of Lake Garda – famed for being the largest lake in Italy – is situated roughly halfway between Milan and Venice. The lake itself is surrounded by plenty of quaint villages and rustic towns, and boasts an impressive events programme all year round.
Live musical performances are encouraged by the local tourist board as a perfect accompaniment to the stunning landscape. This makes Lake Garda a top destination for schools looking to guarantee appreciative audiences for a music school trip or tour.
An experienced Concert Assistant will meet you at your venues, take care of concert organisation and any issues which may arise, so that you and your group can concentrate solely on preparing for your performance. Your group also has the option to request an experienced NST Music Tour Manager, always on hand to ensure your school trip to Lake Garda runs like clockwork.
