In recent years the BSG has revived the idea of taking the older groups of children on a European Tour, playing in concerts and enjoying a european city for a long weekend. In 2011 we visited Valencia, and in 2009 Cremona.
Valencia - Easter 2011
In April 2011 the top two groups set off for Valencia in Spain for four days, where they played in two concerts, and had a fabulous long weekend sightseeing, eating, sunning themselves, visiting orange groves and orange packing plants, going to flamenco evenings and football matches and playing on the beach. A fantastic trip.
Pictures to come.
Cremona - Easter 2009
Everyone who went to Cremona in 2009 will agree that they had a wonderful time. Three days in a heavenly town, listening to music, playing music and eating gelati in the sun with very nice people - what more could anyone want.
Here are selected pictures .... Before the concert - in a beautiful corridor at the Palazzo Cataneo
