Venice Music Tours
Perform music and tour in Italy’s most evocative city, unique islands and lively lidos
Venice is a symbol of beauty and artistic creativity. Venice transports us into a past far from the frenetic speed of modern day. In Venice you stroll, take a gondola, soak up the atmosphere and marvel at the most unique city in Europe.
With over 160 churches and 15 principal piazzas Venice is no stranger to both sacred and secular concerts which thrill tourists from all over the world who flock to this city.
A short boat trip from Venice island are the stunning Roman islands of Murano and Burano and the bustling beach resort of Lido di Jesolo. Whether you stay in Venice or retreat to the coast at Lido we can create a fascinating and diverse concert tour itinerary.
Venice is the city of love and “If music be the food of love, play on.”

Concert performance venues in Venice and Lido
Absolutely spoilt for choice here when it comes to churches to perform in! Whether it be Mass in St Marks, a sacred concert in the Redentore or a mixed music concert in Santa Maria dei Miracoli, all musicians will be extremely happy! There are also regular concerts in the squares in the beach resorts on the mainland which go down very well with very mixed music school groups. There is a lovely holiday atmosphere which both the children and audience love.
Choirs and some instrumentalists can participate in Mass in this wonderful, prestigious and world famous Basilica in Venice. A good way to visit without joining the enormous queues! Depending on which priest is there on the day, a recital is sometimes allowed after the Mass. There is always a very big congregation here to sing to.
St Mark’s Cathedral
One of Italy’s best known examples of Italo-Byzantine architecture
A very pretty Venetian Renaissance church in the Canareggio neighbourhood of Venice. This church is perfect for concerts in terms of acoustics. From a performance perspective, it provides a manageable size which creates an intimate atmosphere and often a “full house”. Secular music is allowed here.
Santa Maria dei Miracoli
The “marble church” in the Canareggio area
A happy, buzzing resort which is particularly popular with school groups. There is a lovely beach and a long promenade which links the many squares where events take place. Concerts happen throughout the summer in the amphitheatre as well as other squares in Jesolo and the resorts along the coast. All are well attended.
