RelaxSing Holidays welcomes people from Australia, Europe and around the world to come together as a choir to relax and sing in spectacular locations.
We invite you to join us, meet new friends and feel the magic and exhilaration of creating beautiful harmonies as one.
RelaxSing Tuscany, Italy 2013 for one week from 14 September 2013. Relax with in a superb venue near the beautiful medieval town of San Gimignano and discover all the beauty that rural Tuscany has to offer. Sing an exciting repertoire of songs under the guidance of our gifted Musical Director and Accompanist and experience the joy of "harmonising relaxation with song".
The lovely accommodation is located within a 300 hectare authentically restored Tuscan Estate which has produced wine and olive oil for centuries. The Fattorie di Santo Pietro offers typical Tuscan style en-suite rooms in carefully restored apartments, surrounded by extensive manicured grounds. A wonderful pool with sun deck, a dedicated meeting room for singing, delicious food and wine served in the adjoining restaurant and wonderful scenic views all combine to provide the perfect setting for a most relaxing and memorable stay.
During the week enjoy singing a wide range of songs which have been carefully selected to include both classical and modern styles, some with an Italian theme. RelaxSing will provide the music to you in advance so that during the holiday we can work at perfecting our singing technique while continuing to focus on fun. The week will end with a public performance of our repertoire in the town of San Gimignano.
To complete the RelaxSing experience there are a variety of afternoon excursions to visit some of the most picturesque towns and enjoy the delightful scenery of Tuscany. There will also be an opportunity to participate in a free afternoon of wine tasting on the Estate and for a small additional charge, a Tuscan cooking lesson.

La Madonna Che Scappa - The Dashing Madonna - Sulmona

The town of Sulmona in the Peligna Valley marks Good Friday with a procession that starts in the evening at the Baroque Church of Santissima Annunziata and ends late at night at the Church of Santissima Trinità. On Easter Sunday, a procession sets out at 11am from the medieval Church of Santa Maria della Tomba bearing the statues of the Risen Christ, Saint John and Saint Peter. Bearers carry the statues to the Church of San Filippo Neri to announce the news of the Resurrection to the mourning Madonna of Loreto. She refuses and the saints implore her to come out of the church. Eventually, the church door opens and a black-clad Madonna moves out. A flock of 12 doves is released and tradition dictates that if they fly high, it is a sign of a good harvest to come. Suddenly, the Madonna breaks into a dash as she rushes to meet her son, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers.

Location: Sulmona, L’Aquila, Abruzzo
