Accademia San Felice is pleased to announce a new opportunity for 2008 and beyond: the Legato Project, linking youth orchestras from across Europe in cultural exchanges, joint concerts and visiting tours.
With 10 years’ experience of organising European Festivals for international youth orchestras, Accademia San Felice has built up a strong network of contacts and collaborations with quality youth orchestras from around the world, with new orchestras from different countries becoming involved each year. So far, ASF has organised tours and festival participation for orchestras from various cities in over 20 European countries, including:

Austria - Belgium - Denmark - Estonia - Finland - Sweden - Norway - Germany - France - Holland - UK & Ireland - Spain - Portugal - Italy - Poland - Switzerland - Serbia - Romania - Czech Republic - Italy - Croatia - Slovenia

The aim of the Legato Project is to allow youth orchestras to travel and perform throughout Europe as part of cultural exchanges, thereby meeting local youth orchestras who will help in finding suitable venues for a concert tour, and, if both parties are willing, meet to perform joint concerts together. Accademia San Felice will take care of all logistic arrangements within the country itself (hotels, local transport, guides, promotion etc).
Please write to tam@accademiasanfelice.com if your orchestra would like to participate in this project, either as a hosting orchestra for visiting ensembles or if you would like to travel and meet foreign orchestras on your tours, and we will insert your details into the LEGATO database.
