F L O R E N C E F I R E N Z ECradle of the Renaissance and home of the masters
Renowned throughout the world as a UNESCO World Heritage city, with its immeasurable heritage of history, architecture and art – it forms the stunning backdrop to these remarkable choir and orchestra festivals.
Florence, with its architectural vistas of incomparable beauty, is set to join the circuit of the best international festivals of the 5 continents.
Can you imagine the emotion when your voice resounds where Leonardo Da Vinci or Michelangelo worked? Or where Lorenzo De' Medici, called “Il Magnifico”, one of the most important patrons of Art lived? And what about singing next to a renowned statue by Andrea del Verrocchio? All this can happen only in Florence!
All participants will stay in hotels in the historic center of Florence letting singers and instrumentalists of all ages experience the beauty of the city and all its wonderful opportunities for them as tourists.
O U R F E S T I VA L SFour exciting festivals for choirs and orchestras of all ages, with the common goal to create opportunities for cultural exchange between different artistic traditions.
The concept of this new project is to create an incredible inter-penetration between musicians from all over the world and the magical venues of Florence, rich with treasures of the great masters of the Renaissance.
Our motto is “Prima La Musica”, “Music First”: final concerts with all choirs and full orchestra, renowned guest conductors, internationally recognized juries, available for exciting workshops. And also: perfectly tuned baby grand piano in all venues, professional video and audio recordings, stage rehearsals for all participants.
Last, but not least, you will not sing only for the glory. Significant monetary prizes, valuable trophies and medals, faithful reproductions of masterpieces like La Battaglia di Anghiari by Leonardo Da Vinci and David by Andrea del Verrocchio, Florentine pure gold coin.
So, don't wait any longer, join us today in Florence!
