2026 Tuscany Choral Experience

A curated choral music tour for individual singers in Lucca, Italy

Let the rhythm of Tuscany inspire you! Our journey begins within the enchanting Renaissance walls of Lucca, nestled in the picturesque foothills of Tuscany, Italy. Over nine incomparable days, we’ll blend the joy of music with the beauty of art, culture, history, and cuisine. Prepare to fall head over heels for the breathtaking landscapes, warmhearted locals, and, of course, the unforgettable food and wine!


Resonate Tours has crafted this unique experience for individual singers seeking meaningful connections—with one another and with local audiences—while immersing themselves in the charm of Italy. Picture yourself wandering through cobblestone streets, idyllic countryside, and sun-kissed coastlines, all while sharing the universal language of music with newfound friends. This is no ordinary tour; it’s a gateway to uncommon adventures. Make music daily, forge lifelong friendships, step off the beaten path, and create memories to last a lifetime.


The Tuscany Choral Experience weaves music, culture, and cuisine into a harmonious tapestry. Each day offers a blend of music-making with friends, enriching cultural or historical explorations, and curated meals that celebrate Tuscany’s diverse culinary heritage. The week begins with daily rehearsals and musical preparations, culminating in two unforgettable performances in remarkable venues. Along the way, you’ll have ample free time to explore Lucca, uncovering centuries of history seamlessly woven into the fabric of modern Italian life.


We are thrilled to welcome Jennaya and Brett Robison back as our distinguished Music Directors for the 2026 Tuscany Choral Experience. Their expertise and passion will once again guide our musical journey, creating unforgettable moments of harmony and connection.
