Still dreaming about Italy😌🇮🇹 Mascagni's

Still dreaming about Italy😌🇮🇹 Mascagni's gorgeous Intermezzo from his Cavalleria rusticana opera closed out every concert on tour. Italians adore it, and it's found a place in our hearts too. Here's a clip of the encore from the Taormina Art Festival💕

Arrivederci Italy🇮🇹 Today was our last day of tour, which included an open rehearsal at the Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia, free time to explore Rome, and a farewell group dinner with live music and dancing! Tour has been amazing, and the friendships and memories will stick with us for life. We head home tomorrow morning, with lots of stories to share! Italy, we’ll miss you! #gtcystour #gtcys50 #gtcys

🇮🇹Our final tour concert is in the books! It was so amazing to perform for a full house at the Sant’ Ignazio di Loyola Church. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 was even more powerful tonight. Lots of hugs and tears as we get ready to say goodbye to tour. One last day in Rome tomorrow and then back to Minnesota! #gtcystour #gtcys50 #gtcys

Ciao it’s Ceci, writing to you about our day fro

Ciao it’s Ceci, writing to you about our day from Rome! Today we did some international travel to visit the Vatican. We went to the Vatican museums, Sistine chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. While in the Vatican museums we saw gallery’s full of marble statues, tapestries, mosaics and paintings. The St. Peter’s Basilica was breathtaking with its ornate domed ceilings and large mosaic murales. After having some time to relax and eat lunch, we are now ready to play our final concert at the Saint Ignazio de Layola Church! Make sure to check back in to see clips from the GTCYS class of 2022’s last concert!!!
