"A Peak Experience", Snow Summit Resort, Big Bear

One of our favorite pre-tour concerts, this sunset performance took place at the top of the Snow Summit resort. The kids' favorite part was riding the lift with their instruments!

'Lungo Il Tevere'

Our first concert in Italy was along the Tiber River in Rome, at an annual summer festival called 'Lungo Il Tevere' or 'Along the Tiber'. It was the most lovely opener to begin this concert tour!

Down To The Tiber! 'Lungo Il Tevere', Rome, Italy

A necessary part of touring Italy was transporting ourselves and our instruments to each venue. The streets of Italy can be narrow, so we were often dropped off quite a ways from the venue, and we all shared the work of getting musicians, instruments, and equipment where they needed to be.

The Spanish Steps, Rome, Italy

Italy Tour Fundraiser at The Cave, Big Bear

Down To The Tiber! 'Lungo Il Tevere', Rome, Italy

One of the many cultural stops during our Tour of Italy last summer was the visit to the Spanish Steps. We were awed constantly by the beauty everywhere we ventured!

A bike ride around Lake Como was definitely a highlight of the Italy tour! Director Sharon Rizzo and one of our amazing parents, Ramona DeMarco, with George Clooney's house in the background! This resort town was refreshingly uncrowded, and offered us many opportunities to learn about the unique culture of the area, which is very close to Switzerland.

One of our first pre-tour fundraisers to help us on our way to the Italy Tour! The kids played a fun mix of music and a great time was had by all. A fan favorite was the finale: "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin, arranged for strings.
