Our Story
SERENADES Choral Travel is a unique CHORAL & CULTURAL SUMMER PROGRAM that brings together AVID CHORAL ENTHUSIASTS, dedicated amateurs and professional musicians alike, who strive for CHORAL EXCELLENCE. These “SERENADERS” seek opportunities to PERFORM exquisite CHORAL REPERTOIRE spanning from the Renaissance up through the 21st century, in art-filled and unique venues throughout the “OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH” regions of EUROPE in charming Medieval towns, with other LIKEMINDED CHORAL SINGERS and LEADING CONDUCTORS in the field.
SERENADES choral participants and their travel companions also “TASTE” and “SAVOR” what the local region offers culturally, be it ART, ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY, LOCAL FOODS, WINES, and so forth, through GUIDED TOURS, special ORGANIZED MEALS, CULTURAL EVENTS, COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS, WINE TASTINGS, etc.
The program began in 2006 in Umbria, Italy, where over the span of 11 summers “Serenaders” performed in the towns of Spoleto, Orvieto, Montefalco, Trevi, Bevagna, Spello, Assisi, Perugia, Preci, Norcia, as well as in Siena, Tuscany. In 2017 the program ventured into the province of SORIA, in the CASTILE & LEÓN region of SPAIN, and has performed in unique cathedrals and venues, in the towns and villages of SORIA, ALMAZÁN, CALATAÑAZOR, BERLANGA de DUERO and MEDINACELI. Summer 2019 marked the program’s first time in the NOTO VALLEY, SICILY, performing in the towns of NOTO, RAGUSA, and SIRACUSA (Ortigia Island). Summer 2020 the program will return to SICILY for its special 15th anniversary program!
SERENADES Choral Travel was founded as “Umbrian Serenades” by professional singers, voice teachers, and choral conductors, HOLLY PHARES(2006-2011) and PAULO FAUSTINI, after many years performing and working for the Festival dei Due Mondi (Two Worlds) in Spoleto, Italy.
JOSEPH FLUMMERFELT was guest conductor from 2010-2015. DAVID HAYES, who currently serves on the CHORUS AMERICA board of directors, conductor of THE NEW YORK CHORAL SOCIETY, music director of THE MANNES ORCHESTRA, and staff conductor of the CURTIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, has been the program’s guest conductor since summer 2016 in Umbria, Italy, in Soria, Spain, for summers 2017-18, and 2019 in Sicily, and will return in 2020 for our special 15th anniversary program in Sicily, at the end of June into July, 2020. More specific dates coming soon!
