SES Choirs embrace the culture of Venice

SES Choirs embrace the culture of Venice

Over 30 students from every year group across Stamford School and Stamford High School travelled to Italy over half term for a choral and cultural tour.

Following performances within two masses at famous renaissance buildings, St Mark’s Basilica in Venice and St Antoni’s Basilica in Padua, the choir were delighted to receive a standing ovation after their final concert, held in Abano Terme.

The group were also invited to sing in the earliest surviving permanent covered theatre, where Monterverdi staged his operas. An extraordinary glass blowing workshop and visit to the Venice Lagoon islands concluded their cultural tour.
