Mater Dei High School Chorus on our minds

Things are busy over at Incantato headquarters as we gear up for next week’s exciting tour with The Mater Dei High School Chorus, the award-winning choir and handbell ensemble from Santa Ana, California. The touring group is so big we’re leaving LAX next Thursday, March 24, in five subgroups on three different airlines. We can’t wait to reunite with all, and their Incantato tour managers - Stefania, Michela, Rosalia, Constanze and Paola - in Rome on the 25th!

But that's just the beginning. We're really looking forward to all aspects of the trip, from visiting Capri to singing at the Vatican. Check out some highlights from the first few days of the itinerary:

March 25 - Benvenuti in Italia! The choir and entourage groups travel to the gorgeous Amalfi coast and stay in seaside hotels like the Hotel Reginna Palace

March 26 - Tour of historic Pompeii and first concert at Santa Maria a Mare

March 27 - A big day! High Mass at Chiesa di San Francesco followed by Haydn's Paukenmesse at Duomo di Amalfi

March 28 - Cultural exchange and free time on the famous Isle of Capri

March 29 - Morning recital at Montecassino Abbey, the birthplace of the Benedictine Rule

Performance, history, culture, relaxation - and that's only the first five days! Check back to find out about the rest of the tour, including stops in Rome and a concert at the Vatican, and for daily updates about how the tour is going.

We can't wait!
