Music performance venues
Chiesa Madre del Corpus Domini, Grag
We love this Baroque Church which is the perfect venue for choral and orchestral concerts. The organ is in good working order and can be used by performing groups. Concerts here are organised with the support of one of the local music groups and are always very popular.
Marina Grande, Sorrento
The harbour area is busy with locals and tourists. Performances are arranged in July as part of the celebrations in honour of St Anna, the patron saint of pregnant women.
Tasso Theatre, Sorrento
Thanks to our excellent local contacts, we are able to arrange performances in the main Theatre in the town of Sorrento, usually with the participation of local performing groups attracting large audiences.
Local schools, Bay of Naples
Experience the typical warm welcome of Southern Italy with a performance in a local school. Often the highlight of the tour; these performances allow students to experience the truly unifying power of music.
Recommended excursions
Mount Vesuvius
A hike up to the crater of this famous active volcano provides splendid views and a fresh perspective on the landscape. The whole Vesuvian area was turned into a national park in 1995. Your group can discuss the disastrous eruption of 79AD, which destroyed Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae.
Pompeii
Probably the most famous archaeological site in Italy, Pompeii is located just 25km away from Naples. Life in this rich and prosperous city was dramatically and brusquely interrupted in 79AD when Vesuvius erupted and totally buried it. A visit to the excavations gives students a pretty good idea of what life must have been like here two thousand years ago.
Herculaneum
When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD, the city of Herculaneum was engulfed in an avalanche of mud that preserved the buildings and streets. The excavated city today can be explored on foot, giving students a fine example of Roman lifestyles and architecture.
Tip: Herculaneum is a lot less busy than the more famous Pompeii.
Capri Island
A ferry trip from Sorrento to the Island of Capri gives students a great opportunity to observe the geography of the coastline from a different perspective. The island is famed for its lemon groves, natural beauty and expensive boutiques, with highlights including the impressive Villa San Michele.
Amalfi coast
The Amalfi coastline is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, offering steep rugged cliff tops adorned with lemon groves, beautiful vineyards and picturesque villages such as Ravello, Amalfi and Furore. This is a magnificent setting with views of the sea and fine examples of architecture, geography and historical monuments.
Sorrento
Sorrento has grown from a small fishing village to one of the largest tourist destinations along the Amalfi Coast. Winding stone stairways lead to piazzas that are filled with the sound of traditional Italian. Enjoy stunning sea views, pick up souvenirs and watch the world go by.
Museo Archeologico Virtuale
Located close to the ruined city of Herculaneum, this multi-sensory experience recreates a vision of the region before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 75. Through technology including 3D reconstruction, holograms, synchronized multi-projections and hypersonic sound, the sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Baia, Stabiae and Capri are brought to life. This visit can be combined with Herculaneum or Mount Vesuvius.

The concert venues were very welcoming and helpful. It was great to be able to meet the kids at the school and for our students to talk to them.
