Cantate Toscana, Tuscany, Italy

Dates: 14 May - 17 May 2026 | Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany is one of the most important Italian regions for historical, artistic, economic and cultural landscape. The most popular italian tourist region is known for the quality of life, culinary delights, and richness of its cultural heritage.

Florence, the city that inspired the genius of Dante and Leonardo Da Vinci. The city of the Uffizi and the David di Michelangelo. The cradle of the Renaissance and the italian language. In Florence you can breathe history, sacred and secular art. There is no other place in the world of so many illustrious “sons” can boast of the number and size. Literature, painting, sculpture and architecture make Florence a synonym of culture. Florence is also known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with its many monuments and museums such as the Cathedral, Santa Croce, the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Pitti.

Siena, city of art, city of culture, city of the Palio and city of excellent cuisine – no doubt that this gorgeous town is a multi-faced one. It would seem that the personnel at UNESCO also thougt so, naming Siena a World Heritage Site in 1995, having appreciated that this extraordinary Medieval city has preserved its characteristics and qualities for so many centuries.

At the Choir Meeting “Cantate Toscana” you can perform two church concerts in the Old Town of Florence and Siena or on request you can participate at a friendship concert with a local choir where you can share music and culture.

Choir Contact Ireland can help you plan an unforgettable choral trip for your choir. We take care of the planning and logistical arrangements, dealing with the ground operators and organisers, allowing you to focus on the singing. Contact us today for more information and sing with your choir in Italy.
