On Monday 24th July 60 members of Romsey Youth Choir together with their Director and Accompanist Marion and Chris Maxey and 6 accompanying adults headed to Northern Italy for what was to be a fantastic tour. On Tuesday, a er a swim and an explore of the beautiful town of Brescia, Italy’s city of culture 2023, the choir performed their rst concert in Chiesa di San Cristo. e church provided a delicious evening meal for the choir and chaperones before the evening concert inside the stunningly beautiful church known tour of Treviglio and then treated to a really delicious Italian meal before giving an evening concert of lighter popular music in the cloisters of the library, a really beautiful setting outside under the stars. Again they had a full and very appreciative audience with people standing and sitting round the edge as all the seats were taken. Friday saw the choir o to Sirmione, Lake Garda. Here they sampled the biggest and best Italian ice cream, enjoyed exploring the beautiful town and of course did some more singing. at evening the choir headed back into Verona for dinner followed by a visit to Verdi’s opera Nabucco, in the Verona Arena - such an amazing experience for everyone. Saturday was their last day in Italy and they headed to Venice. It was incredibly hot but incredibly beautiful - the grand canal, academia bridge, rialto bridge and of course St Marks Square as well as more ice creams and souvenir shopping. e tour culminated with the choir singing the evening mass in St Mark’s Basilica, Venice - an absolutely amazing experience for everyone. St Mark’s Bascilica is stunningly beautiful and has an incredible acoustic. It was so lovely that some of the choir’s parents ew out to hear them sing in this very prestigious building. e organist at St Mark’s complimented the choir on their great sound and musicality. The choir’s director Marion Maxey said: “This was an amazing tour and it was an honour to be away with such an incredible group of young people, we packed so much into our time and they loved all the experiences and sang so well. The manager of our second hotel kept complimenting us on how well behaved all the young people were. We could not have done this of course without the incredible team of adults who supported us throughout this tour. There will be the opportunity for new members to join the youth choir in September, if anyone would like more information please contact us on: md@ romseyyouthchoir.org.uk or through our website.” For more information about Romsey Youth Choir please visit: romseyyouthchoir.org.uk Mount Plose Sirmione as the Sistine Chapel of Brescia as it is covered in frescoes. e choir sang a programme of sacred music to a large and very appreciative audience. e next day they headed north to the Dolomites and took a cable car up Mount Plose for an amazing walk and of course the hills were alive with the sound of music. Wednesday morning saw a visit to Verona with Juliet’s Balcony, ice creams and the Verona Arena high on the list. at a ernoon the choir travelled to Treviglio which is twinned with Romsey. is was an incredibly special visit because of the wonderful links between the two towns. e choir were taken on a very interesting St Mark’s Basilica, Venice
