Great attention is paid to the promotion of each concert, working closely with the local tourist boards and advertising in 'What's On' guides and events listings produced by local tourist offices.
We produce posters and flyers that are widely distributed on the days leading up to each concert, hold bi-annual press conferencesand submit press reviews and adverts in the arts and culture section of local and national newspapers, radios and TV. Our promotional material is of a high standard which helps us to secure better publicity and hence maximum audiences for each concert.

For us it is most important that each orchestra plays to large, appreciative audiences during their tours. The timing and location of concerts are carefully planned to maximise audience potential. We guarantee that we will do our utmost to maximise your audience potential and we typically have very good responses from the audience!

A Thousand Young European Musicians at Ponte Vecchio
Organised by Accademia San Felice, performances in Santo Stefano

FLORENCE- ... the 4th edition of the International Festival of European Youth Orchestras, from 13th to 30th July in Santo Stefano al Ponte Vecchio, witnesses the accumulation of an initiative which is no doubt emblematic of upmost care and presumably also courage and devoted organisation, when one considers what moving a thousand or so budding musicians - the majority of whom are under 18 -involves.
Accademia San Felice has succeeded over years of work in creating a real personal network of contacts and exchanges with dozens of youth training opportunities dedicated to classical music.
