YOUR EXPERIENCE IN VENICE

Music tour in Venice and the laboratory of a violin maker

What you will do

Musical tradition in Venice is ancient and varied. Composers of the kind of Claudio Monteverdi contributed with their work to the prestige of the magnificent St Mark’s Basilica. Violin teachers and choir masters such as Antonio Vivaldi helped with their music the orphanages, known as “ospedali”. Major theaters like La Fenice would be erected. Music scores would be printed for the first time in Venice. High quality instruments were built here. So how about visiting the spaces where Vivaldi’s “putte” performed? Where private concerts were held in secret halls for music? And wouldn’t you love visiting the workshop of a violin maker, where also ancient instruments are restored?
