Tours
Each year the NYO is invited to undertake a tour to somewhere in the world!
Last year the NYO were invited to take part in the International Festival of Youth Orchestras which was held in Florence and the surrounding area during the summer. Our previous visits in 2001 and 2004 have been among our most memorable tours.
During our week in Tuscany, we gave three concerts:
Friday 25th. July in the church of Santo Stefano in the middle of Florence 9:15pm
Sunday 27th. July in Terme Tettuccio, Montecatini (outside courtyard) 9:15pm
Tuesday 29th. July in The Church of San Giovanni, Lucca 9:30pm
We also managed sight-seeing visits to Pisa, Siena and Florence (including a visit to the Uffizi Gallery). Entrance was free to all concerts.
